A quién buscan
We're looking for volunteers who are open, flexible and enjoy trying a variety of activities. Ideal candidates have an interest in event creation, supporting local and international projects, sport for seniors (pilates, yoga), and handcraft/art work with schools, the elderly and active-ageing groups, plus a willingness to propose mural painting for public spaces. Comfort working alongside people with disabilities, the elderly, and children is valued. Volunteers should be team-oriented, adaptable to a rural setting (faming work), and motivated by inclusion: full support is provided by a tutor and local partners throughout.

Alojamiento y comidas
Home during your stay is a cosy shared apartment or house in Amarante's city centre (or near the youth centre), or the Youth Village: private or shared rooms, bathrooms, a kitchen, and free laundry at the youth centre. Food here is a real highlight: Casa da Juventude runs its own vegetarian restaurant, serving fresh, home-style vegetarian meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner, Monday–Saturday) with eggs, milk, seitan, tofu and more, plus one non-vegetarian dinner a week. On Sundays, you get €40/month to explore Amarante's food scene on your own.
