    Sobre el programa

    In many European countries, disabilities still represent a struggle in the level of access to citizenship, education and even decent work.

    As a volunteer on the Special Needs Support project in Split, you will be providing your time in helping in care centers for children, teenagers and adults with a wide range of physical and mental disabilities.

    The aim of this program is to help provide individualized care for people with disabilities, enabling them to be more integrated within their community and to lead a less stigmatized life, contributing to improve their quality of life. You’ll work alongside a team of local staff and volunteers giving support on the outdoor activities, as beach walks, bicycle tours and animal farms projects. You’ll also assist on indoor activities like arts and crafts workshops, cooking and physical therapy.

    This project is well suited to compassionate, patient and caring people. If that sounds like you, then your time on this project will be both rewarding and highly valued by the local community. As you will be working closely with the local placement staff, you are not required to have previous experience or training to participate on this project.

    Amidst the Kozjak and Mosor mountains and surrounded by the Adriatic Sea, just a few hours away from one of the other European capitals, the small peninsula where Split is located has a lot to offer to every visitor and traveler.

    Croatia, as a Balkan nation is a must stop country for anyone who chooses to visit eastern Europe in a meaningful way. On the one hand it has a rich historical heritage full of monuments classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on the other it is a country that is still recovering from a political war, in the group of countries with the highest number of people living below the poverty line.

    With its charming ancient towns and villages, beautiful beaches and more than a thousand islands, its history has produced a very rich cultural diversity, shaped by Roman and Turkish, that is, Mediterranean and Eastern European influences. These historical heritages mark the different regions of Croatia. Between Istria, Dalmatia and the center of Croatia, the gastronomy, lifestyle and accents can change a lot, making the country very diverse and interesting. Split, the second biggest city, has a specific Mediterranean influence that makes it especially welcoming, cosy and warm. With its palace just on the seaside, Split brings a peaceful and fresh atmosphere that invites you to come and stay for a while.

    2024 at Youth Supporter

    I recommend this experience to absolutely anyone, it was the best of my life. The first week my placement was in a Skatepark in Cascais, so I had to catch a train and then a bus. Although it was good and the commute was fine, I didn't feel comfortable at the beggining so I asked to switch to a ...

My first day was an introduction to the area, possibility to get help with the tickets for the public transports and a guided tour of Lisbon. They also have communication chats for you to contact ...

    2024 at Animal Care and Protection

    Honestly, I was surprised, when on the website it shows photos of so many dogs, animals, it turned out I was working at a cat sanctuary. It's not that I was disappointed by the cats, it was just a shock, and also, at points of the sanctuary I feel like I wasn't apart of it massively, there wasn't ...

    Here’s a more formal and assertive version of your feedback: After months of requesting a detailed schedule for our diving experience, we only received the information after all payments had already been made. To pay €1,500 for a week, only to end up with just four dives, is completely ...

    2024 at English Teaching to the community

    Unfortunately, my experience was not the best one. The lodging was too far from the project; we had to travel almost two hours to get there. The classes were not organized. After one week, and following my request, I was assigned to a school which was fine but still one hour bus and metro to get ...

    2024 at Impact Surf Camp

    I would not recommend the Impact Surf Camp program. I thought it was way too expensive for what you get in return. When I was there, early November 2024, I was the only one who had booked the Surf Camp program. At first it was cancelled the day before it started because of the weather, even though ...
