Tutmonda Esperantista Junulara Organizo

TEJO is looking for a ESC volunteer in Rotterdam! (2022-2023)


As part of the European Solidarity Corps, TEJO invites you to become a full-time volunteer in our Central Office in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Being a volunteer doesn’t only mean contributing to the well-being of the organisation, but it is at the same time a personal development. The volunteer will work at the heart of the Esperanto movement – the Central Office of the World Esperanto Association and TEJO, he or she will be able to help with many interesting projects (arranging meetings, information campaigns and the development of internet projects) and also with attending events representing TEJO.

ESC is open to all young candidates who are between 18 and 30 years old. The project limits the volunteering to a maximum period of one year, making it possible for more volunteers to have their volunteering experience with us.

We are looking for 3 volonteers for the period September 2022 to December 2023. The start date is subject to agreement.

The volunteer must show an interest in Esperanto and in learning it before or after his or her arrival, with the help of our staff and the resources available for free in the office. As a volunteer you’ll certainly learn teamwork and you’ll have an opportunity to bolster your skills, especially with the after-mentioned tasks.

We are particularly looking for volunteers who are able to support the activities of TEJO in the following areas:

Here are examples of your future tasks:

The ideal candidate:

These are the qualities of our ideal candidate and we’re aware that not everyone can fulfill them. In the time frame between the selection of the candidate and the start of the volunteering, there will be enough time to train oneself. So don’t hesitate to apply!

You will volunteer for 8 to 12 months. The start date is subject to agreement. You will have a free place to stay and your travel expenses related to your volunteering will be reimbursed. 

The application deadline is 30 June 2022.

Please send your application to info@tejo.org with ESC-2022-alvoko: first name_surname_last name: as an e-mail object along with the following documents in a single *.zip file:

Notice: At this time, the TEJO-volunteer has to work in the Central Office in Rotterdam. Citizens of the EU/EEA can work and live in the Netherlands without any problem, but citizens of many countries still need a work permit and visa. Because the Netherlands doesn’t offer volunteering visas, and because the pocket money doesn’t cover the means of subsistence of the Netherlands, TEJO will take this into consideration during the selection of the volunteer and  will try to find the appropriate solutions.

Therefore, we will only be able to accept volunteers with citizenship of one of the following countries:

EU and Schengen countries:

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Finland, France, Greece, Spain, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Cyprus, Croatia, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Poland, Portugal , Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland.
