Join the Barcelona Food Rescue and Community Empowerment program in Spain, where you can make a significant impact in one of Europe's most vibrant cities. This initiative, ideal for volunteers aged 16-80, focuses on uplifting a culturally diverse and underserved migrant neighborhood in Barcelona. You'll be at the forefront of combating food waste and addressing hunger, distributing surplus food to those in need. The program also includes community-building projects, weekly training sessions, and workshops on cross-cultural understanding and volunteer management. Engage in daily community workshops like yoga, meditation, and martial arts, and explore Barcelona's stunning Mediterranean beaches and coastal towns during your weekends. Stay in shared rooms at a cultural center or apartments, fostering a supportive community environment.

Want to help others improve their English while you improve your Spanish? Join our exciting volunteer program in Spain! Most Spanish students start learning English at about ten years old, so your role mainly involves teaching conversational English. You'll receive assistance and guidance from the local teachers, especially with lesson preparation and content. Whilst there are typically five to fifteen students in a class, you usually have some say in the age group you teach but should maintain a flexible outlook. The students will learn so much from native speakers, including improved English language skills, which help to advance their lives and job opportunities. On the other hand, you'll find that teaching English is an extremely important and rewarding role. Together with other volunteers, you'll provide a valid and effective means of learning through: • Designing games to teach English, especially for younger children • Networking with local residents and local project staff Whilst not mandatory, completing a TEFL course prior to joining this project would prove to be highly beneficial.
