TREXEVS

Trex-Evs association was created in 2007 with the aim of providing common space for Turkish Ex-EVS volunteers.

The association is based in İzmir city of Turkey, which is the 3rd biggest metropolitan in Turkey. We mainly focus

on activities designed for youth mobility, inclusion of disadvantaged, democracy and youth mobility. As we are the

most active on voluntary activities and mainly EVS since the very beginning of YIA programme, we continue to

coordinate projects through Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps.

Our basic mission is to be an information supplier between ex and future European volunteers and to help passing

on the gained experiences, observations to the following volunteers by organizing various meetings and projects.

Additionally, we want to promote the idea of taking initiative to young people and be active citizens in society.

TREX EVS is playing a key role to disseminate the EU Youth Strategy within young people and local organizations

in terms of building a more inclusive society and coping with different societal challenges and crises.

TREX EVS cooperate with institutions, universities and non-governmental organizations specifically on current

issues, such as access to digital kits that will local official be easily enabled for refugees to benefit from youth

opportunities.
