VOLUNTEERING
Local Volunteering
At Viaje a la Sostenibilidad we encourage people of all ages to volunteer in our local projects. No previous experience needed: just the desire to give your time and energy to your neighbourhood.
Volunteering is much more than helping: you meet new people, learn skills that are not taught in any classroom and see with your own eyes how small actions create a real impact on your community. Volunteering has also been shown to improve wellbeing and a sense of belonging. Your time is worth a lot!
Would you like to have a unique experience abroad?
International mobility and volunteering opportunities are within your reach thanks to programmes such as Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps!
Erasmus+
Youth Exchanges and Training for Youth Workers.
Youth exchanges and training courses offer 7–10 day meetings in different European countries. Taking part in these projects not only gives you the chance to explore new cultures, it also gives you recognition through the Youthpass certificate.
European funding covers essential costs such as activities, accommodation, food and travel from where you usually live.
How can you take part? You just need to find a project you are passionate about and fill in a simple form to apply for a place. Discover a world of opportunities by exploring our projects on social media such as Instagram and Facebook.
Opportunities for personal and professional growth are waiting for you!
European Solidarity Corps
The ESC is an exciting European Union initiative that invites you to volunteer on projects both in your own country and abroad, benefiting communities and citizens across Europe. This programme is open toyoung people from the age of 17, although projects only start once you turn 18, and you can take part up to the age of 31.
The application process is simple and, once selected, you could join projects related to natural disaster prevention, support in reception centres for asylum seekers and other social issues. The length of the projects ranges from two months to a year, usually within the Member States of the European Union.
