Beschrijving

Small gestures change the world! 

Join SOPRO's Christmas Task Force in Barcelos, Portugal, from 9 to 22 December 2026.

SOPRO – Solidariedade e Promoção is an NGO founded in 1996 by young volunteers in Barcelos, guided by five values: solidarity, cooperation, education as a universal right, justice and equality. In 2025 we supported 371 families.

As part of an international team, you will help with our Christmas campaign:

  • Supermarket campaigns: telling shoppers about the campaign and collecting donations;
  • Collect and sort: sorting the food and goods received and putting the food baskets together;
  • Offer to families: taking the baskets to the homes of the families SOPRO supports;
  • Visits to some elderly people in their own homes.

This team volunteering experience is designed for young people with fewer opportunities and promotes diversity and equal opportunities. Help us help others!

Regelingen voor accommodatie, eten, en vervoer

Accommodation: shared house with other volunteers (shared rooms, kitchen, living room and washing machine).

Food: €140 for the 14 days (food allowance and pocket money, paid together).

Travel: return journey reimbursed according to the ESC distance bands (e.g. 500-1999 km: €309 standard / €417 green). Only public transport is covered (no taxi, Uber, Bolt). Keep all original tickets, receipts and boarding passes.

 

Wat leer je?

On arrival you will get an introduction to SOPRO, the Christmas campaign and the team's tasks, plus practical information about Barcelos. During the activity, SOPRO's team will support and guide the volunteers every day, with moments to reflect on what you are learning.

At the end you will receive a Youthpass certificate showing what you learned. You are covered by the European Solidarity Corps insurance (Henner).

Wie zoeken we?

Young people aged 18-30, living in a European country, motivated to help others and to work in an international team. No previous experience is needed. Young people with fewer opportunities are especially welcome.

What to bring: good mood and positive energy, comfortable and warm footwear and clothing, any medication you may need, identification documents and your European Health Insurance Card.
