Volunteer Summer School

The Volunteer Summer School is already preparing an offer of intensive training so that both volunteers and those responsible for the organizations can do training during the summer months.

In order to make it easier for training to reach everyone and the whole territory, simultaneous training actions are carried out in several municipalities, and registration has no cost for students as it is entirely subsidized by the General Directorate of Civic and Community Action.
