💼 What the programme involves
We are looking for two motivated volunteers eager to make a meaningful impact through ecological and creative action. The hosting organisation of this project is “ASOC. MIL Y UN BOSQUES DE CÁRTAMA”, a non-profit association based in Cártama, with a strong interest in ecology, nature and artistic expression and believing in the power of nature and creativity to foster personal growth and social change.
Its aim is to contribute to the conservation of the flora and fauna of the area and its goal is to act as an educational platform and with reforestation and regenerative initiatives to teach sustainable practices to protect the local nature. The volunteers will collaborate in the following tasks:
-Conservation of the garden and nature interpretation area;
-Environmental awareness and dissemination campaigns;
-Personal project/own initiative;
-Supporting to the activities and projects of the coordinating organisation (Asoc. Iniciativa Internacional Joven): once a week.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The organisation is based in a rural area of Cártama, about 20 km from Málaga. Volunteers will live at the main venue where the association's activities take place, around 2 km from Estación de Cártama centre. Therefore, local transport will not be needed for daily tasks. Transport will be provided when activities are held at the coordinating organisation’s premises in Málaga. Volunteers will receive either breakfast, lunch and dinner or a food allowance, as well as a daily amount of pocket money and international travel costs according to the Programme’s rules and limits.
