HOW YOU CAN HELP
The mission of this program is to protect the amazing environment of Bilbao in Northern Spain and allow its people to better thrive. Volunteers will assist in areas such as developing recycling and environmental programs, creating education campaigns, working directly with local community members and within garden and compost projects and generally helping to promote and educate on the importance of waste management.
This project allows volunteers hands-on experience as well as the opportunity to help behind the scenes with administrative tasks including social media, fundraising and promotional efforts, sourcing new alliances and drafting maps.
Volunteers will be placed according to their personal interests, timeframe and profile. This promises to be a wonderful experience for volunteers to learn about the real Spain, spend time with its people and contribute to its future.
Volunteers will contribute in a number of ways and can expect to undertake many of the following tasks:
· Develop recycling programs and workshops
· Assist with hands-on projects such as light photography work, gardening, journalism, nutrition and sorting recycled materials.
- Maintaining urban gardens and offering mobility challenges to society
- Conservation prevention projects
- Replanting initiatives
- Assisting to beautify and maintain parks and biking /walking trails
· Help raise awareness of the project and its importance within Bilbao and beyond, making new alliances and finding ways to grow its impact
· Interact with locals and share personal experiences and ways of life
· Assist with administrative tasks
Volunteers work to conserve, restore, rehabilitate and manage land using conservation tools and people power to improve conservation resources and to provide access for people to enjoy and appreciate nature. You will use social networks, crowdfunding etc to report all information you get while doing your duties and missions every week
Working in diverse locations from inner-city parks to scenic hilltops overlooking the Atlantic ocean and coastal reserves, volunteers will work on restoring biodiversity in the area, support species protection, help to strengthen community networks, and provide enhanced conservation land for the benefit of future generations
