Volunteerism and youth initiatives in Spain and Portugal

Overview

Volunteerism initiatives in Spain and Portugal have shown growth and a focus on youth engagement and leadership. In Spain, regional programs have expanded, such as the municipal Volunteer Point in Reus, which reached 368 registered volunteers to support various non-profit entities. Other Spanish initiatives include environmental and social education camps in the Valencian Community and language practice programs in Cerdanyola del Vallès.

Efforts have also extended to personal development and international cooperation. In Portugal, student training sessions have focused on self-knowledge and interpersonal relationships. Additionally, the XIII International VIDES Congress in Seville, Spain, brought together global volunteers under the theme ‘Young defenders of hope and solidarity’ to discuss social justice, human rights, and organizational strategy for the 2026-2030 cycle.
