English teaching volunteering program

October 25, 2025by: Luna Johnson - FranceProgram: Volunteer Programs in Spain

Volunteering to teach English has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The program allowed me to work closely with students of different ages and backgrounds, improving not only their language skills but also my teaching abilities. The local staff were supportive, providing resources and guidance throughout. Beyond the classroom, cultural activities and interactions with the community made the experience immersive and unforgettable. I highly recommend it to anyone passionate about education and cultural exchange.

Football Volunteering Program in Northern Spain

October 25, 2025by: Felix Springer - United KingdomProgram: Volunteer Programs in Spain

The football volunteering program in Bilbao is an incredible opportunity for anyone who loves sports, culture, and community work. It combines football with social inclusion, offering participants a meaningful way to contribute while discovering life in the Basque Country. What makes this program so special is its holistic approach. Volunteers not only take part in football activities but also enjoy Spanish courses, cultural excursions, and comfortable accommodation. These experiences help participants fully immerse themselves in local life and understand the rich traditions of Bilbao. Moreover, the program plays a vital role in integrating immigrants and local residents through football. The sport becomes a common language that breaks down cultural barriers and promotes teamwork, respect, and friendship. It’s inspiring to see how football can unite people from different backgrounds and create a strong sense of belonging. Overall, this volunteering experience is more than just a sports project—it’s a bridge between cultures and a chance to make a positive impact on the community while growing personally and socially.

From Soil to Solidarity: Sustainable Living in Northern Spain

Volunteering in a permaculture project in northern Spain is an inspiring way to connect with nature and give back to the community. The experience combines sustainable agriculture, teamwork, and cultural exchange. Volunteers learn how to grow food responsibly while enjoying the beauty of Spain’s green landscapes. What makes it truly special is that part of the harvest is donated to local charities, helping families in need and showing how small actions can create a big social and environmental impact.

Growing up with various multicultural experiences led me to study abroad. I hosted a Spanish exchange student for a month, and she hosted me at her home with her family in Aguilar de Campoo, Spain. Additionally, during my Senior year of high school, my family and I hosted a Norwegian student.  After my first year of undergraduate studies, I volunteered in Ecuador for a Summer and during my Junior year, I studied abroad in Moldova and Russia. Upon graduation, I moved to Costa Rica and lived there for about two and half years.
