We are looking for you and one more youngster to conduct a 12-months voluntary service project, taking place from February 2023 in four places of Barcelona’s province. The hosting organization develops projects to foster integration and social-labor inclusion of young people at risk of social emargination. Depending on your profile and attitudes, you can help in different centers, on two kinds of tasks: support to social educators in helping children and young people (from 4 to more than 18 years old) on homeworks, playful activities, and social and personal skills development workshops (in Mataró, Sant Andreu and Bellaterra); support in the communication department, and also support young people dedicated to collecting scrap metal (in Sabadell).
