A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Portugal
Locations
There are some wonderful locations in which to volunteer in Portugal, though sometimes selecting a location can go hand in hand with selecting a placement type. For example, home building projects and beautification initiatives often take place in the cities, such as Braga, Porto, and Lisbon. Volunteering in urban areas usually revolves around helping communities hit hard by poverty due to the global recession.
In rural areas, volunteer work in Portugal might entail being paired with a local homestay family and working on their farm for a few weeks or months. This type of volunteer placement often occurs in agrarian parts of the nation, such as the Douro Valley, and gives volunteers the chance to contribute to organic farming cultivation in the country.
Off the coast, volunteers may have the chance to get involved in conservation efforts, such as whale and dolphin conservation initiatives in the Azores isles. Coastal placements will undoubtedly provide volunteers with a beautiful backdrop for their volunteer work in Portugal.
