Young Researchers of Serbia and the Ministry of Youth and Sports of the Republic of Serbia invite youth associations, associations for young people, their federations and youth offices to apply for a public call to organize and (co-)fund at least 30 volunteer camps in at least 15 districts.

Funds totaling 3 000 000 dinars for financing volunteer camps have been secured through the project “National Youth Volunteer Program 2015 – Volunteer Camps,” implemented as part of the “Young People Are the Law” program by Young Researchers of Serbia – Volunteer Service of Serbia.

The “Young People Are the Law” program is once again recognizing volunteer camps this year, which have been organized in Serbia for 26 years, as a way to encourage activism and volunteering and to support young people in contributing to better lives in local communities across Serbia.

The deadline for submitting project ideas is June 1, and an information session will be held for everyone interested on May 26 in Belgrade (travel expenses covered). Selected camp organizers can expect programmatic as well as financial support of up to 100 000 dinars per camp. All camps will take place between June 25 and October 1. Project documents and the call can be downloaded from the Young Researchers of Serbia website (www.mis.org.rs).
