Over het programma

Join the Youth Support Program in Barcelona! In Barcelona, there is a growing poverty divide, and many children lack access to essential support services. Schools and after-school centers provide a safe, supportive place for students to be productive during their free time. Volunteers play a crucial role in fostering an inclusive environment, helping with personal development, and teaching life skills that can change young people's futures.

Youth Support volunteers assist students aged 3-16 with homework, organizing activities, teaching English, mentoring, and simply spending time with them. During school and summer holidays, volunteers also help with trips to the beach or summer camps outside town. You'll work closely with organization staff and other volunteers to promote better outcomes for young people in Barcelona.

Accomodatie

You will stay accommodated in a social hostel with a meaningful social mission in Barcelona city. The Hostel has the capacity to accommodate up to 320 conscious travelers who want to visit Barcelona in a responsible way. There are various common areas such as dining room, living room, room balconies and 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 with fresh local ingredients everyday for all volunteers in a very Spanish style and they are prepared to accommodate most diet restrictions such as vegan and vegetarians, gluten-free and lactose intolerant.

For dinner, you can either explore the city or use the kitchen at the accommodation :)

2022 at Children & Youth Support

I really recommend this experience especially with impactrip. Joana and Clara were amazing. The pre-departure, and the on-site organization was excellent. They were always available for any of our needs. Speaking about the placement it was a mix of fun and excitement, 4h per day. Children always ...

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 ...
