​Details about Volunteer Service in Spain

• Start Dates - Any Monday except during December and August (due to a high percentage of staff on vacation).

• Duration - Minimum 8 weeks, maximum 6 months (depending on visa constraints)

• Commitment - approx. 30 hours per week

• Internship Areas - nonprofit sector

• Requirements:

  • Age - minimum 18 years old

  • Insurance - Required to have liability insurance in 2023 (this is new)

  • Experience - No work experience required but ideally studying something related to their preferred internship area

  • Spanish Classes - Have to take at least 1 week of Spanish before starting the internship.

• The volunteer Service program is not designed to take intensive Spanish classes and intern at the same time. This is done separately.  For example, students can do 4 weeks of intensive Spanish and then 8 weeks of Service (3 months total). If you want to take Spanish at the same time, we recommend doing the Evening Group Course during your Service or private lessons that can accommodate the Service work schedule.
