Resumo: The Youth Service has the major aim to approach Europe to the local youth, promote values like solidarity, engagement, intercultural relations understood as richness and strong concept in a society where citizens from different origins live together; promote leadership and enterprising attitudes among the youth, and understand that local community is a place where values develop and benefit the population. European volunteering is thus framed in our organisation and our general interest to host volunteer is inside our main goals. Our specific interest is based on offering European volunteers the possibility to make contact with youth programmes by a local entity, which involve learning and training for them, and at the same time helps them to develop their abilities and create their own projects. It is also based on enabling both volunteers and local youngsters a direct relationship on behalf of both parties, thus becoming a rich and intense intercultural experience. By promoting knowledge on other European realities through direct contact with the volunteer, we will avoid prejudice and xenophobic and racist attitudes, as well as facilitate acceptance of the others and improvement of values like solidarity.
