💼 What the programme involves

We are looking for motivated volunteers interested in the social field and working directly with vulnerable people, specially elderly people and people with disabilities. This is a hands-on volunteering project that gives volunteers the opportunity to engage with different target groups, addressing their needs directly. Tasks include preparing meals, cleaning and maintaining infrastructures (Kitchen and Laundry), animation/leisure time activities and workshops both for elderly people, people with disabilities and children and support in doing children's and elderly people's hygiene and feeding them. Other activities include Environmental clean-up actions and social media content creation.

🏠 Accommodation on site

All volunteers share an apartment located within walking distance to the volunteering activities venue. The apartment is equipped with all basic furniture, water, gas, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels. Volunteers also share the bedroom. Volunteers receive 300€/ monthly allowance for food and pocket money and they also get a free Health Insurance covering all medical expenses. On a daily basis, volunteers walk from the apartment to the volunteering venue on their own and vise versa. For occasional activities, the Hosting Organization provides transportation.

🎒 Leisure activities

The travel between the country of origin and Portugal and return are covered by the ESC Programme. Volunteers receive Task-related Training at the volunteering activities venue. They also receive Institutional Training to get acquainted with the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement and free access to OLS (Online Linguistic Support) in order to learn Portuguese language online. Further Training can be provided, depending on availability and the volunteers interests and skills.

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport
