Our volunteering programme offers the flexibility to create an experience that fits your schedule, interests, and personal goals. Whether you are planning a short stay, a gap year experience, or a meaningful addition to your studies, you can join us at a time that suits you and discover Spain through language, culture, and community engagement.
Start Any Week of the Year
You can join our programme any week of the year, subject to availability, making it easy to plan your experience around your studies, holidays, or other commitments.
Students generally arrive on Sunday and depart on Saturday, allowing them to settle in before the start of their programme and make the most of their stay.
Spanish Classes Start on Monday
Your Spanish language journey begins on Monday morning, with classes starting at 9:30 a.m. This gives you time to arrive, settle into your accommodation, and get ready for the week ahead.
Before travelling to Spain, you will take a Spanish level assessment so we can evaluate your current language skills and better understand your learning needs. This helps us identify your starting level and ensure that your language-learning experience is as rewarding as possible.
Whether you are a complete beginner or already speak Spanish with confidence, you will have opportunities to practise the language in real-life situations throughout your stay. From the classroom to volunteering activities and everyday interactions, you will develop your communication skills while gaining a deeper understanding of Spanish life and culture.
Stay for as Long as You Wish
Every volunteer has different goals and time commitments. That's why you can choose the duration of your stay according to your availability and the experience you are looking for.
Whether you can dedicate a couple of weeks or wish to stay for several months, we will help you plan an experience that suits your schedule, subject to programme availability.
A longer stay can offer even more opportunities to build relationships within the local community, improve your Spanish, and become more involved in your chosen activities.
Comfortable Accommodation Included
Feel at home while making a difference.
Accommodation is included in comfortable, fully equipped apartments located an average of just 15 minutes from the school. With good transport connections and easy access to local amenities, you can enjoy a convenient and comfortable stay while exploring the city.
The apartments provide a welcoming base where you can relax, meet other international students, and share your experience with people from different backgrounds.
Would you prefer something different? Alternative accommodation options and upgrades are also available for an additional fee, allowing you to choose the type of stay that best suits your preferences and budget.
What Happens When You Arrive?
From the moment you arrive, our aim is to help you feel welcome, comfortable, and ready to get involved.
You will receive guidance to help you understand your volunteering role, become familiar with the activities, and contribute positively to the local community. A dedicated supervisor will guide and support you throughout your programme, answer your questions, and help you make the most of your experience.
Depending on your schedule and interests, your volunteering activities may include supporting migrants who face language or literacy barriers, spending meaningful time with elderly people, or participating in creative and wellbeing activities involving art and ceramics.
You can also combine your volunteering with Spanish classes, cultural experiences organised by the school, and outdoor activities, creating a rewarding balance between learning, discovery, and community engagement.
Make Your Experience Count
Volunteering is not only about the time you give; it is also about the skills you develop, the people you meet, and the perspective you gain along the way.
Throughout your stay, you will have opportunities to practise Spanish, develop intercultural communication skills, strengthen your confidence, and gain valuable experience supporting your local community.
At the end of your programme, you will receive a certificate of participation recognising your volunteering experience. You can also request a letter of reference acknowledging your involvement and contribution, subject to your participation and the programme's reference policy.
These documents can be valuable additions to your CV, university applications, or future academic and professional opportunities.
A Flexible Experience, Designed Around You
We believe that meaningful volunteering should be accessible, flexible, and rewarding. Volunteers can join any time throughout the year
From your first Spanish lesson on Monday morning to the connections you make through volunteering, every part of your journey is an opportunity to learn, grow, and make a difference.
Choose your dates. Find your purpose. Discover Spain. Make a difference.
