  • Support and Connection: Provide individual care and build connections with the people you help.

Daily Tasks:

  • Arts and Crafts: Assist with creative activities.

  • Physical Therapy: Support physical therapy sessions.

  • Exercise: Engage in activities like swimming or walking with dogs.

  • Meal Preparation: Help prepare and serve food.

  • Hygiene Assistance: Assist with personal hygiene and cleaning.

Why Join?

  • Make an Impact: Provide crucial support to individuals with disabilities.

  • Gain Experience: Develop skills in special needs care and community integration.

Accomodatie

You will stay accommodated in a social hostel with a meaningful social mission in Barcelona City.  

There are various common areas such as dining room, living room, room balconies, outside areas.

The hostel is in a neighborhood where you can find everything you need: a mall, local coffee shops, supermarkets, ATMs, hospital, police and most utilities you will need just around the corner. 

The Hostel is 5 minutes walking from the metro stop and has many buses and a tranvia running by that can bring you to the city center in 10 minutes
But what is really unique about it is its social concept. The hostel is actually a social business for a non-profit ran in the same building. The non-profit develops a wide range of programs, campaigns and activities for children and youth, their families and third sector organizations. 

Eten & Drank

We will provide breakfast and lunch at the hostel everyday. 

The hostel restaurant offers meals everyday for all volunteers in a very Spanish style and they are prepared to accommodate most diet restrictions such as vegetarians, gluten-free and lactose intolerant.

2024 at Youth Supporter

I recommend this experience to absolutely anyone, it was the best of my life. The first week my placement was in a Skatepark in Cascais, so I had to catch a train and then a bus. Although it was good and the commute was fine, I didn't feel comfortable at the beggining so I asked to switch to a ...

2024 at Environmental Scuba Diving

The people working there were really supportive and genuinely wish for you to have a good experience. My first day was an introduction to the area, possibility to get help with the tickets for the public transports and a guided tour of Lisbon. They also have communication chats for you to contact ...

2024 at Animal Care and Protection

Honestly, I was surprised, when on the website it shows photos of so many dogs, animals, it turned out I was working at a cat sanctuary. It's not that I was disappointed by the cats, it was just a shock, and also, at points of the sanctuary I feel like I wasn't apart of it massively, there wasn't ...

2024 at Environmental Scuba Diving

Here’s a more formal and assertive version of your feedback: After months of requesting a detailed schedule for our diving experience, we only received the information after all payments had already been made. To pay €1,500 for a week, only to end up with just four dives, is completely ...

2024 at English Teaching to the community

Unfortunately, my experience was not the best one. The lodging was too far from the project; we had to travel almost two hours to get there. The classes were not organized. After one week, and following my request, I was assigned to a school which was fine but still one hour bus and metro to get ...

2024 at Impact Surf Camp

I would not recommend the Impact Surf Camp program. I thought it was way too expensive for what you get in return. When I was there, early November 2024, I was the only one who had booked the Surf Camp program. At first it was cancelled the day before it started because of the weather, even though ...
