Volunteer Programs in Valencia, Spain

Spain, including Valencia, was impacted by the recessions in the past decade — volunteers like you can be part of continually rebuilding the prosperity of the city and the happiness of the people living in Valencia.

Popular causes and projects. Language exchange volunteering is a great way to spend your time volunteering in Valencia, as is teaching language and literacy skills. Valencia is also known for their ecological conservation projects that are available to volunteers given the immense biological diversity of the region in the temperate climate; most of these projects focus on marine conservation, which is no surprise when you take into account the plentiful nearby coastline. Opportunities to have an impact on children in the local community are also available, allowing you to get to know the next generation of Spaniards.   

Short term volunteer programs in Valencia. A short term volunteer program, lasting only a few months, allows you to get more life experience while also getting to know a new place. Less than 90 day stays in Spain usually don’t require a visa, so aiming for a short term trip shorter than this can result in fewer delays and paperwork. Staying for the summer or for even just a few weeks can concentrate your attention on the excitement of the city during a particular part of the year.

Long term volunteer projects. Volunteering as a long-term part of a team with a Valencian non-profit organization or other community organization for more than three months can create lasting memories due to making more friends and seeing some of your projects come to a conclusion. Some programs even go for a year or more! You may need to acquire a visa, so be sure to start planning a long-term volunteer program a few months ahead of time, and to make arrangements for a roof over your head for the whole stay.
