The pilot initiative “Interreg Volunteer Youth” (IVY) has been launched over two years ago by the Association of European Border Regions (AEBR) and DG Regio to support Interreg Programmes in carrying out communication tasks. Since March 2017, AEBR has deployed over 300 volunteers in Interreg Programmes and Projects, making cooperation in Europe better known and more visible.

So far, thanks to IVY, hundreds of Interreg projects all over Europe have been implemented with the support of young Europeans who brought their interest, their skills and their enthusiasm.
Every Interreg Programme can host a volunteer for a period of 2 to 6 months. Volunteers are young people from 18 to 30 years old who are committed to engage in an experience to enhance solidarity in the European Union and beyond. AEBR supports the volunteers financially and provides them with some information on Interreg prior to their deployment.
The pilot initiative continues until December 2019.
