About NIW-CRSO / Korpus Solidarności

Korpus Solidarności is Poland’s national network supporting regular volunteering. It connects volunteers with local organisations and offers training, coordinator support and tools for recording community activity. You can contribute to more than one organisation while building lasting local connections.

The volunteer-service system (SOW) lists organisations and opportunities and records completed hours. Standard Corps membership normally involves at least 16 hours per month for 12 months. Reduced commitments apply to younger and older volunteers and people with disabilities. Foreign nationals can volunteer in Poland, including temporarily, while the relevant host and programme route determine the practical commitment.

Eligibility criteria

Important to know

Korpus Solidarności is a volunteering network, not a paid placement or relocation package. Different programme routes can have different commitments. Confirm the host’s language needs, schedule and any expense arrangements before joining.
