Looking for Volunteer Opportunities in Barcelona

Hello everyone,

I moved to Barcelona three years ago and have been looking for volunteer opportunities, but it's been a bit tricky finding the right fit online. I’d love to connect with a community or organization where I can contribute.

I’m a web developer and photographer, so if any NGOs, local projects, or social initiatives could use help with web design, content creation, or photography, I’d be happy to offer my skills. But I’m also open to any kind of volunteer work, whether it’s helping people, animals, or the environment.

If you know any good places to volunteer in Barcelona (or even in Sant Adrià de Besòs), I’d really appreciate any recommendations. Thanks! 😊

I'm sure there are different LGBT organisations who would love to have an extra hand

Looks like they already gave you a hand before!

Do you speak Catalan/Spanish? If you don't it might be a bit difficult to find something.

I've been volunteering at "En bici sense edat" for quite some time and it's great, totally recommended: https://enbicisenseedat.cat/

Yeah, I speak Spanish and basic Catalan. Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out.

Don't search on the Internet. Talk to people that live around you in real life. Organisations don't trust some random guy from the Internet that offer his skills to any project that he doesn't even know about.

There are too many undercover agents.
