About the program

It is an opportunity for volunteers who love to learn new things, meet new people and, most importantly, make a difference by using their knowledge and skills to enrich the lives of others and themselves.

It supports children and young people with disabilities or specific educational difficulties from different age groups ranging from babies to adults in their thirties. 
  • Students have a variety of learning difficulties and special needs.
  • Communication in Spanish is not an absolute must, the important thing is to be able to connect with the students in any way possible. 
  • The leaders of the organisation also work in English, so you don't have to worry about your language level.
The volunteers of this programme work as different classroom assistants, supporting the teachers in different activities during the mornings or afternoons. We include indoor games, art and craft activities to help students in their learning process.

Volunteers can look forward to:
  • Participate in the community, providing the opportunity to experience creativity and learn the techniques of the art of activity design and learn more about art.
  • Assist students in their daily lives and help them progress in life despite any disabilities they may have.

Meet your organization


ADVENTURE VOLUNTEER is a non-profit organization, established in 2017. We collaborate in the social and environmental field through projects of conservation and protection of the environment and animals, as well as in the social part through projects of empowerment of women, community development, functional diversity, medical or teaching.


Our team of collaborators has a deep experience in international volunteer programs.  We know all the realities of the areas where we are working, collaborating and where we have a presence. 


Our projects offer volunteers the opportunity to meet, share and participate in social and environmental projects. These projects demand educational and recreational activities that benefit communities of different cultures and customs, communities with economic difficulties and different degrees of social exclusion.
