What is this ? What am I getting into ?!!!

SVE Connexion is a network of young, slightly crazy, strongly dynamic, curious and European minded people ... people who went out of their country for several months looking for adventure, and came back with a great experience and the will to share it and keep it going!

This website was created to help prospective, current and ex EVS to get together, share their experience, but also help each other in conducting their projects, going on with after-EVS, etc …

Visiting and registering is absolutely harmless … well actually THERE IS A RISK : that you may always want to go somewhere abroad, after reading great volunteers' reports and making contact !

• Learn more about EVS, and how to apply for it
• Get to know the network of French and European associations of ex-EVS,
• Read news and participate in events,
• Search for volunteers according to their profile (and find someone who’s been in the country you’d like to go for example ; or find volunteers living nearby to meet and get to know them)
• Search for volunteers according to their skills (for example if your company is recruiting or if you look for consultation on a particular topic)
• Browse job offers,
• Read and write on the forum,
• Read user’s blogs and
• Check their gallery and shared files.
• Learn more about after EVS perspectives

But if you’re a prospective, current or ex-EVS, an even better option is to register … Why registering ?

... Isn't it a good enough reason ? Well, besides, on top of all the functionalities we just talked about, being a registered member enables you to :

• Find volunteers and check what they’re telling about their EVS hosting project, and even contact them
• Fill in your personal profile and enable other users to find you and contact you through private messages
• Give a feed-back about your EVS hosting project which will be useful for future volunteers
• Register to the newsletters of SVE Connexion and the regional associations
• Get a mentor or become a mentor for EVS volunteers
• Get a personal blog to keep you friends and family posted while you’re in EVS and after
• Make albums containing photos, files, music of your hosting country, short videos, etc …that you’d like to share
• Find other volunteers and add them to your buddy list, thus keeping with contact you’ve met in a seminar for example
• Write private messages through the website’s interface to other members.
• Post job offers
• Tell us about you future or past projects, and look for advice, fundings, team members, etc …
• Post your CV and be contacted by other people from the network for a job

If you’d like to support the network of EVS volunteers in a more active way, feel free to contact the regional association the closest to you or SVE Connexion, to participate in their actions, propose new ones, and join these associations.
