Volunteer at Portuguese Red Cross (Long Term)
Spend 8 months volunteering for the Red Cross in Portugal! This European Solidarity Corps project offers hands-on experience in community engagement and direct interaction with vulnerable target groups of the population. Volunteers support a range of activities, including logistics at the Food Bank, activities at the elderly nursing home and rehabilitation centre (for people recovering from addictions), activities at a local primary school and permaculture farm. Volunteers also have the chance to be involved in activities connected to pilgrim shelter, environmental initiatives and local fundraising events. Tasks are varied and practical. This is a role that better suits people who prefer staying active and working in the field rather than sitting behind a desk.
