Description:
All Volunteer projects are settled in the social and non-profit area, so, for example, you will get placements in areas such as Social work, education, art and culture, environmental protection, human rights and ecology. We emphasize our Volunteer projects with poor children since they are the most affected.
Most projects are part of non-profit organizations that give great value to the commitment and help of young people, giving you the possibility to live a unique experience. Because the aim of the intercultural foreign experience is urgent, the Volunteer programs are not compensated.
