Taith International Youth Volunteer – Spain

This is the perfect opportunity for those interested in gaining valuable skills, giving back to the community and developing their experience working with young people. The personal and professional skills developed on these placements (independence, resilience, youth work, working with vulnerable people, etc), as well as the opportunity to live in a new country and create connections with people from different walks of life are extremely beneficial for any young person looking to start a career in this sector or similar.

We are keen to hear from individuals, especially those who do not normally get the chance to volunteer overseas, who are passionate and motivated for this kind of work, but who also understand that these types of placements require adaptability and resilience.

• There are a range of different activities available with the Spanish Red Cross delivered through 3 main services providing support to young people through:
• Organising and delivering activities for young people including sports, art and computing sessions and assisting with homework
