Create Personal Connections in Portugal
The programs in Portugal have a very personal touch and if you want a direct connection to those you will be helping, consider Portugal for your volunteer excursion. All 3 opportunities have the same base: to help, support, nurture and foster the abilities, self confidence and personal well-being for people in need, be it children or the disabled. Enjoy rich dishes such as Candida with family, dance the fandango with the locals, walk through the bustling markets and relax with new friends in this vibrant country on the west of Spain.
Cost: 6 months $4695, 1 year $7195.
Dates: Starts in August.

Short-Term Volunteer Projects in Portugal
Participating in an international short term volunteer project (so called Workcamp ) can be an exciting prospect. It is an interesting and meaningful way to travel with purpose and spend 2-3 weeks in a foreign environment. Working and living together with other young people from around the world provides an excellent opportunity to make many new friends, learn about unknown places and culture, gain new skills and experience. Your time, energy, and enthusiasm can make a difference in areas where help is really needed.
