Volunteering Teams with the Portuguese Red Cross

Opis

The Local Branch Office is located at Vila de Cucujães, a rural village belonging to the Municipality of Oliveira de Azeméis. At the moment, the Local Branch offers services in three main areas:

• Social Assistance & access to Welfare Services
• Emergency & First Aid
• Youth & Volunteering

We are looking for young people who are in it for the experience and open minded to try everything. The participants will both facilitate workshops/ sessions with kids about the topic of disaster preparedness (we will provide training to volunteers on this topic) and also be ready to assist with maintenance or cleaning works at the Red Cross or local partner Organization's facilities.
