Description
Long-term project (from the 2nd of October 2026 to the 12th of August 2027 plus travel days) for one volunteer in the municipality of Íllora (Granada province). The volunteer will support a wide range of cultural, educational and social activities organised in the town of Íllora. They will collaborate in the preparation, implementation and promotion of events such as book presentations, theatre performances, workshops, talks, exhibitions, guided visits to the local castle and other community initiatives. The volunteer will also help welcome participants, assist with logistics, create communication materials, document activities through photos and videos, and contribute ideas for engaging local people, especially young people, in community life. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS OPPORTUNITY, FILL OUT THIS FORM: https://forms.gle/yuDgPeUYNPbYn5fE7 We do not respond to applications that do not reach us through the form.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers will live in a village house equipped with everything they need. Each person will have their own bedroom (in specific moment maybe it is needed to share the bedroom during no more than 4 weeks per year) and will share the bathrooms, living room, kitchen... They will receive a monthly amount of money for food and will manage their own food. They will not need transportation to go to carry out their tasks, in the town they can walk everywhere. For the travel volunteers will receive a maximum amount of money in relation to the distance band according to the rules of the ESC.
Training during the activity
Volunteers do not need to have any specific training, although some experience working with people is helpful, as is some knowledge of Spanish. However, during the project, they will be trained in everything they need to carry out their tasks and learn Spanish. They will also form part of the volunteer training cycle, with on-arrival training and an intermediate evaluation by the Spanish National Agency if it applies to them. Also an on-arrival training by Somos La Otra.
Participant profile
We are looking for motivated, proactive and open-minded volunteers who enjoy working with people and taking part in community life. Volunteers should be comfortable working both independently and as part of a team, showing initiative and a willingness to learn. The project takes place in Íllora, a small town in southern Spain. Volunteers should be ready to live in a rural environment and be interested in becoming actively involved in the local community rather than expecting the pace and opportunities of a large city. As the activities vary throughout the year, flexibility, creativity and adaptability are essential. We value volunteers who are communicative, respectful of diversity and interested in culture, non-formal education and social participation. A positive attitude, empathy and a willingness to contribute to different kinds of events and initiatives are more important than previous experience.
