Our mission is to provide answers to the personal and social needs of groups at risk of social exclusion, with special attention to children, youth, families, immigrants and women.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The Coordinating Organization (Asociación Auryn) will provide an apartment appropriated for the basic needs of the whole volunteering team. They will share an appartment with two other volunteers. Additionally, we’ll provide a weekly allowance for food for each volunteer. Apart from covering the apartment and the allowance, the European Solidarity Corps Project provides a quantity as pocket money for the volunteers to use for their own expenses. The apartment is close to Alzheimer's Center and to the city center, so transport is not needed.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will participate in two training opportunities organized by the Spanish National Agency: On-Arrival training and Mid-Term Evaluation. The volunteer will also attend free Spanish classes and will have the opportunity for being envolved in other training activities developed by the Hosting Organization (Alzheimer León) or the Coordinating Organization (Asociación Auryn).
