Online volunteering to help charities in Portugal

Depending on your hobbies and interests, you will be partnered with a charity in Lisbon which needs the help of volunteers who can contribute remotely. Charities help both humans and animals, addressing issues of homelessness, vulnerability, loneliness, poverty and the environment. No previous experience is required – just enthusiasm and dedication.
To do e-volunteering on this project, you will need to have access to a computer and the internet. The schedule can be designed to fit in with your life at home.

How does e-volunteering work?

• There is a welcome orientation to Barcelona every Monday, to other volunteers and an outline of what to expect
• You will be introduced to your charity and given a work and training schedule – you can help for 2 weeks, 6 weeks or 12 weeks
• Weekly meetings with the team on the ground and your charity in Lisbon
• Online sessions with other e-volunteers and project staff to cover language ,culture , sustainable travel, mentoring and training

What sort of projects can I join?

• Fundraising, marketing and sales: Help charities to improve their fundraising abilities through social media, crowdfunding and campaigns. Learn about the different places where funds are raised, and help to develop the profile of the charity.
• Teaching and mentoring: Many vulnerable and disabled people struggle to engage, exercise and educate themselves when they are housebound or have limited funds. You can help with leading sports, yoga, teaching or skills sessions to help people keep both mentally and physically active. This is a wonderful way to connect with people who need help and support them.
