Introduction
Over the last four years, I was very happy to be the EVS coordinator at P60, a venue in Amstelveen, the Netherlands. Although it can be quite hard to find the time to go through hundreds of emails, I really enjoyed combining this with my work as a volunteer manager. But, as with everything in life, all good things come to an end… I’m going back to university, but before I left I wanted to write down as much as possible about everything I’ve learned over the last couple of years. This document is the result and it’s filled with tips and tricks, good practice and some warnings. I hope my words will inspire you and help you become the most awesome EVS coordinator ever!
At P60, we usually work with four EVS volunteers. Two of them start in September, two in March. To bring some structure in this document, I followed the procedure of a single EVS ‘project’. I’ll start with the advertising for a vacancy, collecting the applications and the selection of the volunteer. This is followed by the preparations for their stay, the EVS period itself and finally the departure. The things I couldn’t fit in this structure you’ll find in the last chapter and I’ll conclude with a calendar.
All the best, Simone [email protected]

Every year, P60 receives hundreds of applications for EVS. To save yourself a lot of work, it’s very important to write a clear and explicit description of your vacancy. Before you’re able to do this, you’ll need to have a clear idea about the type of volunteer you want to host and the tasks you want him or her to fulfil. Of course, it is possible to leave the specific tasks open to the volunteer, but it’s also important to be clear about this. During my first two years as an EVS coordinator I spent many hours going through emails from young people who wanted to do something completely different than the things we were offering. I think this is just a waste of time for both of us.
You can publish your vacancies on YouthNetworks (youthnetworks.org) and on EU’s Volunteering Opportunities Database (europa.eu/youth/vp/opportunity_list_en). There are quite a few Facebook groups for EVS opportunities and we have a specific Facebook group for Trans Europe Halles Volunteer Coordinators (search for TEH Volunteer Coordinators), on which you can post your vacancy.
When you publish your vacancy, make sure you’ve covered at least these points:
-‐ What is [your center]? o General characteristics o Location o Type of staff o Role of EVS
-‐ What EVS projects are available to apply for? o Be as specific as you can about the tasks o Be clear about the things you’re not offering
-‐ Requirements o Think about language skills o Are you open to volunteers from all countries (think about visa)? o Try to find some keywords for the person you’re looking for (e.g. volunteer with a great passion for
music) o It can be wise to think about the lesser attractive parts of the job and turn them into a requirement,
e.g. ‘We’re looking for a person who enjoys working during the night and in weekends’. -‐ Procedure
o “Send an email with your CV and cover letter between [date] and [date] to [emailadress]. Unfortunately we’re not able to take into consideration all applications sent before or after these dates.”
§ You can ask for a CV or Europass. A Europass is a standardized CV you can create at an EUwebsite (google Europass). It’s a good tool to have a clear overview of the candidate, but for specific EVS projects I prefer using a ‘normal’ CV. This way they can express themselves better, especially when they’re a bit creative..
§ The cover letter can give you a good idea about the applicant. You can of course specify some questions they should answer in their letter, but I prefer to leave this open. This way it´s harder for them to guess what we want to hear and this way it makes the selection less complicated. Another thing you can ask them is to present themselves in a video or to send along their portfolio.
§ By setting a specific period for people to apply, you have a tiny test of commitment. It’s not waterproof of course, but people have to undertake a little more action to apply. I usually set the deadline 1.5 month before the EU-‐deadline so you have one month to select a volunteer and about two weeks to deal with all of the administrational things. Volunteers were able to send in their application starting 1.5 month before P60’s deadline.
5
§ If you don’t have it yet, create a separate email address for your EVS correspondence. o Provide them with a date for when you will inform them if they have been selected or not. There are
many hosting centres that don´t respond at all, and trust me, it takes quite some time to do so, but I think this is very important.
As an example you can find our YouthNetworks post for September 2015 in Attachment 1.
Collecting the applications The moment you’ve published your vacancy online, your inbox will get overflowed with emails. Even though you’ve specified the period to apply, people will start emailing you right away. This is how the Auto-‐Reply became one of my favourite inventions ever…
Before the application period started I used an Auto-‐Reply stating the following:
-‐ Thanks for your email -‐ This is an Automatic Response -‐ All of our vacancies are occupied until [date] -‐ If you’re interested to become an EVS volunteer at P60 at [date], send us an email with your CV and cover
letter between [date] and [date] -‐ More information can be found at: [links to the vacancies you published online] -‐ For other questions, please refer to [email address]
The moment the application period starts, you can alter the Auto-‐Reply a little. I would keep the information you already had since not everyone knows that the period to apply has started – some are just looking for some information. For the people applying I would add the following:
-‐ Once again, this is an Automatic Response. If you’ve send us your application, you don’t have to do anything. (You don’t want to know how many concerned emails I received saying that they’d send their applications again since obviously something went wrong….)
-‐ We will let you know if you’ve been selected before [date].
After your deadline you can change the Auto-‐Reply back to the first version with new dates. The great thing when working like this is that you create a continuous process. You don’t have to keep up with the emails and you’re free to focus on other tasks J.

Selection
And then comes the hard part… Going through all the applications. If you have time for it, it’s nice to start as soon as the period to apply is opened. I like to work with folders in my inbox, to divide the applications right away. The screen shot on the right is in Dutch, but you should be able to understand my structure. I’ll have a folder for people to decline, one for applications missing a CV or cover letter, one for applications that are sent before or after the deadline, one for people selected for a Skype interview and one for applications I’m not sure about.
If you receive many emails, it can be almost impossible to read everything people send you. Luckily, there are always a few applications you can discard right away. You can look for:
-‐ Level of English (if this is important to you) -‐ Completeness of the application (says something about personality
as well…) -‐ Country of origin (if this is important to you)
Also you’ll get quite some emails that don’t have a specific ‘flaw’, but just don’t feel right after quickly scanning their email and cover letter. At P60 we have two types of applications we get a lot, maybe it sounds familiar?
-‐ Young people who reaaaaallllyyyyyyy want to live in Amsterdam! They see EVS at P60 as a way to live in Amsterdam and that’s not the most positive point to start from.
-‐ People who want to do one thing: to organize and/or manage events. This is, unfortunately, not possible at P60.
Furthermore you’ll get quite a few applications that don’t convince you right away, but that you don’t want to discard either. Put these emails in your ‘maybe’ folder. You’ll also have a few you that really like (I hope…), these should go in the Skype folder.
When all of the applications have been divided into different folders, open your Skype folder and go through these applications once again. If there are way too many to invite all of them for a Skype interview, you should think of sending them a form with some questions you want them to answer first. There’s an example of this type of application form in Attachment 2. The answers will hopefully help you create a smaller selection for the Skype interviews. If the opposite happens and there are not enough emails in your Skype folder to have a proper selection, you can try going through your ‘maybe’ folder one more time.
When you have a selection, you can start planning the Skype interviews. I recommend sending an email letting them know that they have been selected for the Skype interview and that 12 (or so) other candidates have been selected as well. I usually give them two options for the Skype interview, for example Tuesday afternoon/evening or Friday afternoon, give them my Skype name and ask for theirs. Then I plan the whole thing, scheduling 20 min per person.
Before the conversations start I write down some questions to ask them. Before every single conversation I quickly look through the application once more to see if I have some specific individual questions. I like to have a bit of a casual conversation, the CV and cover letter already state a lot about what the person has accomplished. During the interview, I try to find out a little more about someone’s personality. Although what they say is important, I pay a lot of attention to the way he or she communicates. Here are some of the questions I like to ask:
7
-‐ What’s your favourite kind of music? -‐ Do you consider yourself a day or a night person? -‐ If you were an animal, what kind of animal would you be? Why? -‐ What’s your best quality? -‐ And what’s your worst? -‐ Why do you want to work at P60? -‐ What do you expect working at P60 will be like? -‐ What’s your biggest fear? -‐ Do you have any questions? (I always like it when they do, this means that they’ve really given it some
thought)
When the interview is almost over, it might be wise to ask them if they already have a sending organization and if they have applied to other EVS projects (most do).
And then…it’s time to make a choice. Here are some useful things to keep in mind:
-‐ We prefer to have volunteers from different nationalities. It’s not a deal breaker, but in the past we discovered that it’s better for the atmosphere to have all the EVS speaking in English together, not singling out the one that doesn’t speak Spanish for example.
-‐ The most competent person doesn’t always mean the right fit. I think personality is way more important than skillset. Bear in mind that some professionals might find it hard to ‘fit’ in your organization, because they can be used to a certain way of working. I always like to find a balance in which everyone can learn from each other.
-‐ It really saves a lot of time and energy if the EVS volunteer is a good match with the team. Especially for the social part as it’s nice if your colleagues enjoy spending time with this person as well. If there’s no good match, you’ll have a lot more work in the out-‐of-‐office hours.
-‐ Tip of the month: choose someone who’s organized. You really won’t be happy if an EVS volunteer is late all the time, their house is a mess, they forgetsimportant meetings, etc.
When you reached a decision, the paperwork starts. Inform the selected candidate(s) but wait for a few days before letting the unlucky ones know that they haven’t been selected. There’s always a possibility that the one you selected changes their mind so it’s always good to have a few back up options.
Preparation After the selection, there’s a nice moment of peace. It takes a while before the National Agency informs you if the project has been approved. During this period, I like to keep in touch with the volunteer. I add them on Facebook, introduce them to the other (local) volunteers in our Facebook group, e-‐mail some language lessons, refer them to the (funny, but true) website stuffdutchpeoplelike.com, etc.
About a month before the volunteer arrives, I start preparing a schedule for their first month. I focus on the out-‐of-‐office time and try to set up as many activities as possible. There will be enough alone-‐time anyway.
For every activity, work related or not, I try to find a buddy. This way, the volunteer always has someone to turn to and there’s always someone keeping an eye out for them. Especially in a busy organization where there’s always a risk of everyone being focused on something else, leaving the volunteer feeling a bit lost.
In Attachment 3, you’ll find an example of a schedule. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to plan more than two activities outside of work. It can be really hard to plan these things as a lot of people have very busy lives. A thing that can help is to ask colleagues about their party plans. I noticed that people are more likely to invite a new person to a party than to have a more personal ‘date’ with them.

Another thing to prepare is a nice goodie bag. This is my favourite part of the preparation J. At P60 we have some bags with the P60 logo on it and I like to stuff them with flyers, posters, a lanyard, maps of Amsterdam and Amstelveen and some brochures of other cultural centres. A few years ago, I made a document about visiting the doctor and about the most important Dutch holidays which I added to the bag as well. They will also get a key of P60, some tokens to use in the bar, a document with the house rules of their home, a P60 t-‐shirt, a public transport pass and of course, the schedule I made. A few other have made a ‘social map’ with the nicest bars, restaurants, parks, etc. for their EVS -‐ a very nice – yet time consuming – idea!
Finally comes the moment everyone has been waiting for! I always pick up the volunteer at the airport and accompany them to their house. Depending on the time of day, we’ll then have lunch or dinner together and, if possible, we’ll go to P60 for a short introduction. During lunch/dinner I’ll explain some things about the schedule, help with the sim card (activation is always in Dutch…), tell some more things about P60 and just socialize a bit.
If it’s not possible to go to the office on the day of arrival, I plan the introduction on another day. Sometimes I pick them up at home; sometimes I’ll ask another EVS volunteer to take them to the office. I then try to book some time with everyone, having coffee together or something like that. I also give them a tour of the building and then work starts… On their first night at P60, I invite the local volunteers to have a drink at P60 and meet the new EVS. Since last year, we organise a speed dating and this works very well! I make cards with questions such as “What’s your favourite breakfast like?”, “If you could take one thing with you to a deserted island, what would it be?” and “Are you a dog or a cat person?”. This helps start the conversation, going beyond the usual “Where are you from?” and “What are you going to do at P60?”.
Another way to break the ice a bit is to let the new volunteer prepare a typical lunch from their home country during the first or second week of their stay. This is a nice way to get your colleagues who are not working with the volunteer more involved.
During their stay If you’re lucky, most of the work is done at this point. It’s important to check on a regular basis how everything is working out for the volunteer, but this is not the hardest job in the world. It can be as simple as a monthly coffee date. While usually there’s nothing exciting to be discussed, it is important that these meetings are confidential. It might even be a good idea to have them outside of the office.
If they’re not that chatty by nature, ask them yourself specifically how things are going. Ask about the relationship with their colleagues, the work itself, life outside of the office, etc. Make sure it’s clear that they can always ask you for help. They might need your help in making a doctor’s appointment for example, or signing up to the gym. If they need help with insurance (for example if they want to get new glasses, AXA covers this!), there are some very good Youtube videos about how to work with AXA. Just search for ‘AXA EVS’ on Youtube.
Sometimes, volunteers find their way very naturally, sometimes they don’t. If you notice the volunteer being alone a lot, it might be nice to introduce them to new people. When you’re visiting a friend, ask if you can bring a guest and ask your co-‐workers to do the same. You can also try to contact other organizations in the area that are hosting EVS and try to set up a meet-‐up with them. Remember that you’re not only responsible for a nice working environment; a great social life is important as well! This means that the first couple of weeks, you might have to spend some of your own free time helping to set up a social life for the EVS volunteer. After a while however, they will find their way, I promise J
When there are conflicts, try to work them out together. There are entire books and studies dedicated to conflicts in the office and everyone has their own style of handling them. I think the most important thing is to not forget the important role you play for the volunteer. The volunteer should be able to confide in you. You’re the parent, teacher and best friend all in one.
9
When you cannot work things out together with the volunteer, it might be an idea to involve someone else. This can be a colleague who has a good relationship with the volunteer, or just someone completely different. It’s also an idea to let the volunteer go home for a week or two, they often return refreshed and more focused to make it work. A third option is to contact the sending organization, to see if they can be of any help and if not, to discuss ending the project.
Departure
When the year is almost over, it’s time to prepare the departure. I like to organize a little goodbye party at the office, with drinks, a present and a (small) speech. Of course some other things have to be arranged, like cleaning the house, retrieving all of the keys (some of P60’s bike keys have travelled all through Europe already…), writing the final report for the Youthpass, etc.
We came up with a great system for cleaning the house. As I mentioned earlier, we have two volunteers starting in March and two volunteers starting in September. They all live together in one house, with two big rooms and two small ones. Upon arrival, new volunteers always take one of the smaller rooms, and when their colleagues leave after half a year, they move to a bigger room. With this fantastic system, the volunteers always know the ones taking over their room and they are far more likely to make an effort to leave the room nice and tidy for the next one. Before we had this system, we used to spend a day ourselves cleaning up the mess after a volunteer went home. Now they just take care of it themselves and I only do a quick check (which doesn’t actually seem to be necessary).
When that’s done, all that’s left to do is take them to the airport (if possible), cry and say goodbye…
General things
At P60, we rent one house for all of the EVS volunteers. They have their own bedrooms and share the bathroom, kitchen and living room. This works out very nice and they often have dinner, go out and plan field trips together. Because two of the volunteers have been living there for at least half a year when the other two arrive, they can also introduce them to new friends they made, the nicest bars and parks in the area, etc. In short, this just saves you a lot of work.
I prefer to choose volunteers who seem resourceful and organised. This just makes your life easier, without getting phone calls from their neighbours, not spending hours of cleaning in their house, etc. You might want to set up some house rules and a cleaning schedule, even if the volunteers are nice, civilised young people. You’ll find examples of both of them in Attachment 4 & 5.
The cleaning schedule not only helps to keep the house clean, but it also helps you makes sure that it’s not always the same person cleaning the toilet. The house rules might seem a bit childish, but the past has taught us that it’s good to have them written down somewhere so it is very clear what you expect. If volunteers are making a mess out of it, it’s also easier to discuss this with them without hearing over and over again “Ohh… I didn’t know…”
And that’s about it! I think I’ve covered most of the way I worked in this document. I hope I didn’t scare you off… Being an EVS coordinator is mostly a very cool and fun thing to do, you’ll meet great people and will probably make friends for life, all over Europe!

Attachment 5: House rules
House rules EVS -‐ Sint Gotthard 18 Amstelveen
You are living with 4 people in the house. Everybody has his own room, and will share the livingroom, kitchen, shower and toilet together.
To make it as nice as possible, we made rules for the house. Please follow the rules and be a nice roommate for the others and treat each other with respect. We hope you will have a good time in the house!
-‐ Keep the house clean, outside as well. -‐ Follow the cleaning schedule, everybody has one task each week. -‐ Keep your own room clean. -‐ Clean pots, dishes and kitchen directly after cooking, other people might want to use it. -‐ Put heating low and most lights off when nobody is at home. -‐ Do not change anything in the building, no painting etc. -‐ No smoking in the whole house, smoke outside! There is a smoke detector in each room. -‐ Ask permission to bring furniture to the house. -‐ Animals are not allowed in the house. -‐ No harddrugs. -‐ You are living in a small street with a lot of neighbours, so keep it quiet at night (no parties). -‐ Be quiet after 23:00, some people have to get up early and want to get some sleep. -‐ Visitors can only sleep in your own room (floating beds). Sorry, but more than two guests is not possible
anymore and guests can only stay in the house when you are there as well. -‐ Keep the music at a normal level, no loud music. -‐ It is not allowed to make an open fire in the garden. -‐ When something in the house is not working, inform P60 asap. -‐ In case of losing keys, the replacement is for your own account. -‐ When the EVS period is finished, leave your room clean behind for the next volunteer. You will receive your
last pocketmoney when everything is ok: a clean room/house and finished evaluation reports. -‐ You are responsible to keep your bike in a good shape.
If you do not abide by the rules, you will get one warning, after a second incident P60 can end the EVS contract.
If you sign the contract, you understood and agreed to the rules mentioned above.
