Being part of the organization was definitely one of the highlights of my first experience in Spain. All the people I met, from the host, the international volunteers and the locals, where just the kindest people you could imagine! I'd highly recommend this experience to anyone that really wants to learn about the local culture and community in Barcelona!

Perfect first volunteering experience. From the very first day I felt welcome and encouraged to become a member of the organization family. It was a great stay that taught me a lot about community life and proactivity, I felt I was given an opportunity to make real impact on the locals and the neighborhood. At the same time I felt I had more than enough time for myself, exploring and enjoying Barcelona, making contacts, deep connections and friendships that will last. Couldn't recommend it more.

Great stay! Definitely wish I stayed for longer Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. All the volunteers and staff make you feel at home and get you involved in the activities Most people speak Spanish but they still welcome you to the family it's a grey place to learn or practice Spanish Muchos Gracias toda 🙏🏽 💜

The organization is a community center with enormous potential. I met incredible people and made precious friends. The volunteer coordinator is patient and understanding. Unfortunately, in my modest opinion, this place is a chaotic mess due to the host that lacks integrity, compassion, and empathy. The FEW locals that actually enter this center are wonderful. Local and foreign volunteers told me they felt like they were being exploited. For me, the facilities and living conditions are disgusting and barely livable. For me, this place should never be able to distribute food or host volunteers.

Many thanks for your feedback Santi, indeed we all are very grateful for your comment which helps us to remember that leading an NGO and hosting volunteers is not an easy thing everyday. We also have to accept we can't satisfy everyone's expectations but fortunately a large majority of our volunteers are having amazing experiences with us and are happy to contribute to the important social impact the NGO is bringing to the 250 families we attend every year. Thanks to your criticism and behaviors with us during your short stay, we explored many ways to increase the satisfaction of volunteers, but we need to remain humble and accept that we can be limited with some people. In your comment you judged in a couple weeks the work of 6 years and it’s your right. Even if you did your best to demotivate the team during your stay, you are not the first to try it and won’t be the last; fortunately even if are not perfect we are in continuous improvement loop and plenty of people here are committed and grateful for years about it, and always happy to come and collaborate.
To conclude, I will be glad to listen to your experience the day you will have led your NGO for six years and wish you to be able to do a better job than us.

The organization is a really special place to meet wonderful people all around the world, from the moment I stepped in the centre it felt like home, as if I had been there forever! I enjoyed my time here and it was a great place to practice my Spanish. I would definitely recommend! The only thing I would say is that the volunteering involves a lot of cleaning of the centre which was super clear, as long as that's something you are happy with there are lots of projects and people you can get involved with around you. All you have to do is ask! ❤️
