🏢 About the local organisation

B-Live empowers youth through social inclusion, environmental education, and creative projects, promoting active participation and leadership in communities.
B-Live Spain is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering youth, promoting social inclusion, and fostering environmental awareness. Based in Murcia, Spain, B-Live focuses on creating opportunities for young people, particularly those from vulnerable backgrounds, to actively participate in their communities. Through educational programs, creative projects, and international collaborations, the organization aims to equip young people with the skills needed to become leaders of social and environmental change. B-Live’s initiatives emphasize sustainability, inclusion, and lifelong learning, with a strong commitment to the values of solidarity and equality across Europe.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteering activity will take place within a summer school programme for children and young people organised during June and July. The programme is aimed mainly at primary school children and, in some cases, small groups of secondary students, many of whom come from socially vulnerable backgrounds and are referred by local social services or schools. The summer school provides a safe and supportive environment where children can participate in educational and leisure activities based on non-formal education. Activities include arts and crafts, sports, games, cultural workshops, group activities and occasional outings such as visits to the beach or swimming pool. The volunteer will support educators in the daily implementation of activities, helping with preparation of materials, assisting during workshops and games, and contributing to creating a positive and inclusive environment for the children.

🏠 Accommodation on site

All arrangements will be made in accordance with the European Solidarity Corps Guide 2025. The volunteer will receive a daily allowance of €11 to cover pocket money and food costs. Local transport related to the volunteering activities will be covered by the project. The volunteer will receive a public transport pass or reimbursement of travel costs necessary for participating in the activities. If needed, the volunteer will also be provided with a bicycle.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will receive on-the-job training and continuous support from the hosting organisation, including an introduction to the project, the local context and the planned activities. A mentor will guide the volunteer throughout the experience, supporting learning through daily activities, teamwork and reflection. As most children communicate mainly in Spanish, basic knowledge of Spanish can be helpful for interacting with participants and the team.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The project is open to motivated young people interested in social inclusion, non-formal education and working with children and young people. No specific educational background is required, but volunteers should feel comfortable supporting activities with primary school children and, in some cases, small groups of secondary school students. The volunteer will assist educators during a summer school programme for children in situations of social vulnerability, supporting workshops, games, creative activities and occasional outings such as visits to the beach or swimming pool. We are looking for participants who are responsible, patient, creative and open-minded, with good communication skills, teamwork and a positive attitude towards children. Previous experience in volunteering, education or youth work is welcome but not mandatory. Knowledge of Spanish is considered an asset.
Deadline: 16/04/2026 17:00

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
