Sobre el programa

In this program volunteers will be immersed in an authentic farming and forest experience, surrounded by nature and farm animals with horses as your buddies.

As a volunteer, you will be placed on a non-profit focused on supporting the local community through environmental education projects, rehabilitation of disabled people, and social inclusion.

You will be working side by side with the organization’s staff as well as with the local youth community. You will support the hippotherapy classes, give a hand on the vegetable garden, patrol the forest on a horse to prevent fires, supervise kids on their educational summer camps, reforest the wild areas with autotunes trees, collect seeds, and even herd a small flock of goats and sheep.

If you are a horses’ lover this project is for you! At the majority of the activities, horses will be your companion for the environmental protection and social inclusion activities and your transportation mode, so you can be able to help on the maintenance of the 3 hectares wild area, as well as support the horse school. This is also the best opportunity to learn how to ride, if you didn’t yet. The school is ready to welcome beginners and give them week classes at an affordable price that you can include on your program fee.

Excited about becoming a real farmer? We are ready to welcome you!

Porto is the second biggest city in Portugal and one of the most authentic cities to visit in the country.

The historic center of Porto was declared UNESCO World Heritage but is the hospitality and forceful character of the locals that will delight you. Porto is a vibrant and young city with countless cafés, bars, and clubs to have a really good time at night, or relaxed rooftops to have a drink and enjoy the warm Portuguese climate.

2024 at Animal Care and Protection

Honestly, I was surprised, when on the website it shows photos of so many dogs, animals, it turned out I was working at a cat sanctuary. It's not that I was disappointed by the cats, it was just a shock, and also, at points of the sanctuary I feel like I wasn't apart of it massively, there wasn't ...

There are some inconvenience because of the language barrier. The personnel there are all quite friendly. The accommodation was really good. But personally I don’t like the food there at the park. Although the work is really meaningful, there’s not much to do. For example I only had to help with ...
