This initiative, aimed at young people between 18 and 30 years old, will take place from July to September. Participants will have the opportunity to collaborate on projects ranging from the conservation of historical, artistic, and cultural heritage to environmental protection, reconstruction, and social intervention.
The program, coordinated by the Ministry of Family, Youth and Social Affairs through the General Directorate of Youth, seeks to foster values of coexistence and solidarity. Volunteers will undertake socially oriented work that benefits the communities where the projects are implemented.
International destinations include 31 countries across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. In Europe, participants can go to Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, and Sweden. The Asian offerings include Turkey, India, Armenia, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Thailand. In Latin America, options are Colombia and Mexico.
The participation fee, which covers accommodation, meals, and leisure activities, ranges from 110 to 121 euros, depending on the volunteer's age. Transportation to the volunteer camp is the responsibility of each participant. In addition to international programs, the Community of Madrid organizes 12 national volunteer camps, including four of its own (two archaeology camps in Rascafría and two environmental camps in Cercedilla) and eight managed by municipalities and non-profit organizations, such as the social intervention project Shared Gaze: Cinema between Generations in San Lorenzo de El Escorial and Community Art against Unwanted Loneliness in Torrelaguna.
