Dedicated individuals who are passionate about social justice and empowering vulnerable populations. Volunteers should possess strong communication and organizational skills to provide legal assistance and support.

In our volunteer program, you can make a meaningful impact by supporting NGOs in Portugal that offer crucial help to homeless individuals. Our primary emphasis lies in extending support through legal aid for document-related matters, assistance with tax paperwork, and the creation of job interview opportunities. We are committed to actively tackling the hurdles encountered by those in vulnerable situations.

In recent years, Portugal has experienced a notable increase in homelessness and social exclusion, affecting a substantial portion of the population, comprising over 3 million people. While charitable organizations do offer vital provisions such as food, water, and clothing, the path to rebuilding lives necessitates more comprehensive support beyond these fundamental essentials.

To combat this challenge and help vulnerable individuals regain their independence, they require governmental support, guidance, and access to resources. By becoming a part of our volunteer program, you play a crucial role in addressing this issue and contributing directly to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 1 – providing assistance to homeless and vulnerable people in meeting their basic needs. Additionally, you'll also contribute to Goal 10 by reducing social inequalities, which are a significant barrier to creating a better future for all.

Join us in making a positive change in the lives of homeless individuals in Portugal. Volunteer today and be a part of the solution.
