Long-Term Volunteering Adventure in Portugal
Cruz Vermelha Portuguesa- Delegação de Cucujães
Vila de Cucujães, Oliveira de Azeméis, Portugali
Kuvaus
The Portuguese Red Cross – Local Branch of Cucujães is inviting motivated young people (18–30 years old) to join a long-term international volunteering project in Northern Portugal. This is a hands-on, community-focused experience where every day brings something new — from practical tasks to team projects that directly and indirectly improve people’s lives. Volunteers live and work in a small rural village, taking part in activities that keep the community running. You’ll get involved in things like: organizing sports, games, and outdoor activities for children and adults, supporting staff and elderly residents at a Nursing Home, working directly with people with disabilities and organizing environmental activities and other occasional initiatives. This experience is ideal for someone who likes to stay active and work with their hands.
Majoitus, ateriat ja kuljetukset
Volunteers share a fully equipped apartment (Wi-Fi, bedding, towels, kitchen utensils, etc.) within walking distance of the work sites. You’ll receive €330/month for food and personal expenses, plus full health insurance and transportation when needed. Be prepared to adapt to local conditions - there’s no air conditioning or heating, so pack for the seasons and enjoy the simple, outdoorlifestyle.
Koulutus hankkeen aikana
You’ll receive on-site guidance and training from the Portuguese Red Cross team, plus national ESC (European Solidarity Corps) training sessions. Volunteers can also access an online Portuguese course and explore new skills based on their own interests and initiative.
