About EYE 2025 Volunteer program
The European Youth 2025 will take place in and around the European Parliament in Strasbourg on 13, 14 June 2025, but volunteers will also be needed on 11 and 12 June and during the event itself on 13,14 June.
Volunteers are the faces and representatives of the event, interacting directly with participants and stakeholders. Their primary tasks include assisting and guiding participants in the European Parliament and EYE Village, providing directions, and answering questions from attendees and stakeholders. Additionally, volunteers are expected to actively contribute to implementing the Sustainable Development policy, particularly focusing on waste management. Here are the key roles and teams for volunteers:
- Entrance Support Team: Assist with welcoming participants, managing entry points, and directing attendees to the correct areas.
- Information Support Team: Help participants by answering questions, providing directions, and sharing details about the event.
- Operations Support Team: Work behind the scenes to ensure smooth event logistics, supporting various teams and ensuring all aspects of the event run seamlessly.

- Additionally, Floaters will support sustainability efforts by helping maintain a clean and safe environment, promoting eco-friendly practices, and overseeing the animation of a sustainability-focused stand.
IMPORTANT: Please be aware that you may have to stand for long periods. If this is complicated for you, please let ORGANISERS know so that they can assign you to a more suitable role. Non-standing roles are limited however, so depending on how many requests are received, it may not be possible to find one for everyone.
