Service Citoyen

Based on equal opportunities and ensuring a social and cultural mix, the Citizen Service enables young people to better find their place in society and to project themselves into working life. 🍀

With a catalogue of more than +- 1200 proposals all over Belgium, it's hard not to find the right shoe (close to home) among the missions on offer!

Because 4/5 of your time in a local association, a municipal service, an NGO or a cooperative with a social purpose for 6 months is a real societal impact !

To get a precise idea, a young person in Citizen Service commits himself 70% of the time to carrying out a main mission with a host organization, 10% to complementary missions and 20% to training, exchange time, joint projects, maturation time, orientation course and evaluation time.

Concerned about their environmental impacts, business travel by bike and train is encouraged. There are also many missions in the environmental sector : educational farms, nature parks, second-hand shops, market gardening cooperatives, etc. or collective projects such as hedge planting, waste collection, etc. 👨 🌾 There's no excuse not to do your bit for the planet!

With 6 branches in Belgium (Brussels, Leuven, Liège, Charleroi, Namur and Antwerp) and partner premises (in Tournai, Verviers and Libramont), accessibility is at the heart of the non-profit organisation. The goal? To enable as many young people as possible to be able to obtain information and get involved in a Citizen Service.

Thanks to the Citizen Service, young people receiving unemployment, social or family benefits keep them during their missions. Jobseekers who have recently registered with Forem or Actiris continue their integration internship during the 6 months of their Citizen Service and are also exempt from actively looking for a job. It should also be noted that each young person in Citizen Service receives an allowance of €10/day (volunteering paid) and their travel expenses are covered (monthly ceiling of €100). 💰
