Mentors of EVS projects play a crucial role in the triangle of Sending Organisations, Host Organisations, and the volunteer. At a SOHO training course, mentors from sending and host organisations meet in a multilateral context to exchange needs and expectations and to learn about quality aspects of EVS projects.

On an annual basis, the SALTO Training and Co-operation RC co-ordinates and monitors several SOHO training courses for ca. 250 mentors from all over Europe. The training courses are hosted by the NAs and are implemented by a trainers pool consisting of 7 European trainers: Monika Kezaite, Luisa Pagano, Jarkko Soininen, Gabriella Nagy, Barbora Stemper-Bauerova, Darko Markovic, and Tomasz Lubotzki.
