    How you can help

    Be a part of Disabled Care Volunteering Program to work in a school for mentally challenged students of different age groups ranging from children to adults in their thirties. The students have a variety of learning difficulties and special needs.

    Communication in Spanish isn’t an absolute must, what’s important is being able to connect with the students in any way possible. The leaders of the organization also work in English, so no need to be worried about your language level.

    We don't just offer volunteering opportunities. We empower you to make a difference and learning Spanish at the same time. Engage in hands-on volunteer projects and see the immediate impact of your efforts while improving your language skills.

    We work on artistic creation through painting, drawing, sculpture, image animation, graphic design, installation, etc..., using a wide range of different techniques, utensils and supports. Volunteers need to talk to patients and accompany them in their daily activities that have to do with art and expression. Patients donot speak English but supervisors do. Volunteers can not pick a specific field but supervisors are flexible and open to initiatives. The art expressions *Hand arts and fashion things are also sold through the organization.

    sobre la organización

    Instituto Hemingway is a worker-run service cooperative that works the local network of NGOs, associations and social enterprises with international volunteers.

    Conoce a tu anfitrión(a)


    Our vision is to promote international volunteerism, local associations and social enterprises by strategically matching international volunteer with local talents and creative thinking. Our goal is to function as a hub of innovative ideas and projects that can have a positive impact on Bilbao and the surrounding region. To that purpose we are constructing a community of social innovators - an international network that combines the energy and passion of volunteers from all over the world with the knowledge and skills of local NGOs, associations and social enterprises.

    Volunteers work with the International Bilbao Network to support the causes of many Bilbao associations, NGOs, and public schools. Our local partners are committed to fostering social inclusion – in particular with regard to children at risk and migrants – as well as promoting local cultural heritage, English language,  animal care and environmental protection. The different organisations are committed to fostering social inclusion – in particular with regard to children at risk, migrants and homeless – as well as promoting local cultural heritage, English language, and environmental protection.

    We are located in downtown Bilbao, just a few meters from  Gran Via in the historical centre. Instituto Hemingway is hosted in a 19th-century building across two floors and a rooftop terrace with a panoramic view.
