Volunteer in Youth Support in Portugal with IVHQ

I had such a great experience volunteering with IVHQ. From the very beginning, the support and communication were clear, and the whole process felt really well-organized. The placement itself was not only rewarding but also gave me the chance to meet amazing people, explore a new culture, and contribute in a meaningful way. I felt safe and supported throughout, and IVHQ made the whole journey easy to navigate. It was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had, and I’d love to go again in the future. Would definitely recommend IVHQ to anyone thinking about volunteering abroad.

My experience was great since the beginning. When I booked everything I always had a coordinator who will answer all my questions during this months. And when I arrived to Portugal, the local coordinators were always there if you need them. Everybody made it really easy to integrate, we were like a family. The volunteer program was amazing, we felt like we were really useful and helpful, I'm so glad I went to this program, it made me grow a lot as a person by helping others daily.

Travelling has never been something that peaked my interest but when I heard of IVHQ and all the different opportunities I chose to step outside my comfort zone and volunteer with their program in Lisbon, Portugal. As an unexperienced traveller I had so many questions and concerns when I first applied but right away IVHQ made sure that every concern or question I had would be answered with care and in depth. Travelling to Portugal was the best decision I made. I had the chance to meet people from all over the world and develop friendships, experience a whole different culture and challenge myself by volunteering in difficult situations. I recommend to anyone to take a chance and step outside your comfort zone and travel, explore, and create with IVHQ!
