Volunteer at Portuguese Red Cross (Long Term)
Cruz Vermelha Portuguesa- Delegação de Cucujães
Vila de Cucujães, Oliveira de Azeméis, Portogallo
Descrizione
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 tasks at a Food Bank, Elderly Nursing Home, Rehab Center, Pedagogical Farm at a Primary School, Environmental activities and other occasional initiatives. This experience is ideal for someone who likes to stay active and work with their hands.
Alloggio, vitto e trasporto
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.
Formazione durante l'attività
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.
