Volunteer Opportunities
Participation in volunteer opportunities in Barcelona is an excellent way to
immerse yourself in your host country's way of life while helping those in need. In effect, this will add another dimension
to the study abroad experience through daily exposure and interactions, resulting in a
greater understanding of the language, culture, and community of the host country.
If you're interested in volunteering, simply ask your Barcelona ASA Site Director for details and she
will help you find the right volunteer opportunity for you. Please note that these volunteer opportunities
are not for credit.
The following are the volunteer opportunities in which students can participate.
Please note that a minimum Intermediate level of Spanish is required in order to volunteer, as
the people involved with these organizations normally do not speak English:
Cottolengo Hospital
Students volunteer at this hospital by assisting disabled patients during lunch or dinner time.
This is a charity hospital run by nuns and they would love to have students help out.
Catalan Cerebral Palsy Organization
Students can have the opportunity to help disabled individuals on a weekly basis, helping
them to train for different sports, such as Boccia, Slalom and swimming. Some of the athletes
will attend the Special Olympic Games
International Red Cross
Students have the opportunity to assist senior citizens or disabled individuals on a weekly basis.
