Its social work reaches thousands of people with and without disabilities across a variety of areas such as training, employability, leisure activities, legal advice, physical rehabilitation or the resolution of mobility and communication challenges, among others. Fundación Dfa currently has thousands of members, a staff of 687 workers(the majority of whom are people with disabilities)and a well-established team of volunteers. Its philosophy has remained the same year after year: to move towards the full inclusion of a group of individuals who want to work, study, have fun, communicate and, ultimately, live freely.

The volunteer will carry out 100% of your activity in our social programs. In his day to day he will deal with the users of the organization, young people and adults with a physical and / or intellectual disability, favoring through the proposed activities, the social inclusion of these. In addition, it will actively participate in disability awareness and visibility programmes with children and youth in educational centres and activities aimed at the general population. He will be part of the Foundation's team of sociocultural activities.
