Children are my passion. This was a great experience for me. I loved helping others and gaining a rewarding experience for myself. IVHQ and the local team were great and always accessible. Meeting new people and seeing the world from a different point of view was an amazing experience for me. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone. I loved seeing the kids at school and assisting them during thier day. Thank you IVHQ for giving me this wonderful opportunity. I would definitely do this again!

Fue mi primer voluntariado; nunca antes había participado en uno y decidí hacerlo con IVHQ. Gracias a esta experiencia conocí un país nuevo y también un mundo que jamás pensé que conocería: el mar. Participar en actividades de conservación marina me permitió comprender una realidad que antes ignoraba; nunca imaginé que el océano pudiera contener toneladas de basura. Sin embargo, bastó con ayudar a retirar parte de esos desechos para darme cuenta de la importancia de cuidar este ecosistema. Al mismo tiempo, pude descubrir un mundo distinto, donde, a pesar de todo, solo se siente paz.

It was my first volunteer experience; I had never participated in one before, and I decided to do it with IVHQ. Thanks to this experience, I discovered a new country and also a world I never thought I would see: the sea. Participating in marine conservation activities allowed me to understand a reality I had previously ignored; I never imagined the ocean could contain tons of trash. However, simply helping to remove some of that waste was enough to make me realize the importance of protecting this ecosystem. At the same time, I discovered a different world, where, despite everything, there is only peace.

IVHQ were terrific during every aspect of my volunteering program. It made for a safe-hassle-free trip abroad.

I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of my volunteering experience, leaving me with cherished memories for years to come.

I got immersed in the culture, and the programs offered in Barcelona are diverse, so there's something that appeals to everyone.

If you want to make an impact, I highly recommend IVHQ to anyone looking for a life-changing trip abroad. It will change your life - for the better!

This was an incredibly wonderful program. Everything was smooth sailing from the application process, up until my last day at my program. I stayed for five weeks in Barcelona to volunteer at a soup kitchen. This kitchen was incredibly clean, organized, and well maintained. Each local volunteer was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The program coordinators also provided me with all of the help, support, and resources I needed to feel comfortable. I initially decided to travel in order to explore my future endeavors as a humanitarian worker of sorts and could not be happier with my decision. I can only suggest you partake in this program, if not this location. Barcelona is an incredibly beautiful place to not only experience but give back to.

First time travelling out of country and my team recieved me very kindly and got me started quickly. They were my to go people and they were all so nice as well as the other volunteers. The on site work was different in a good way and K learned a lot. My time with the kids taught me new things and being able to be with people who also spoke the same language as me but different culture was incredible to live. I will never forget these experiences and the people who i met along the way. Thank you IVHQ.

Hola! I recently returned to Milan from my first experience of volunteering abroad! I went to Barcelona and took part in the immigrant support project. It was a unique and wonderful experience that made me grow and enrich me a lot. Firstly, the international nature of the program means that you can share the experience with young people from all over the world. But the wonderful thing for me was the volunteer projects: every day I went to the center for the immigrants, we talked, I taught them English and Italian and we prepared lunch together. I had some wonderful moments, simple acts like lunch or a simple chat that opened my eyes and deeply enriched me!
It's a beautiful, highly educational experience that I recommend to any boy. Do not be afraid! moreover, the local team is always available to guide and help you and there is never a shortage of fun moments among volunteers! good luck and see you next trip!

I recently had the incredible opportunity to participate in a one-week marine conservation project organized by IVHQ, and I can confidently say that it was a truly remarkable experience. IVHQ’s commitment to environmental preservation and their well-structured volunteer program exceeded my expectations in every way.
From the very beginning, the communication with IVHQ was seamless and professional. The staff members were always prompt in answering my inquiries and provided me with all the necessary information to prepare for the project. Their attention to detail and willingness to assist ensured that I felt well-prepared and confident before embarking on my volunteering journey. I left the project with a profound sense of fulfillment.
I would highly recommend IVHQ to anyone seeking a meaningful volunteering experience. Whether you are passionate about environmental preservation, cultural immersion, or personal growth, IVHQ offers a well-organized program that caters to a variety of interests. Participating in their projects has been an eye-opening and rewarding experience that I will cherish for a lifetime.

IVHQ was with me from start to finish. I was one of the people who applied to start a program just 3 weeks before its start date and this company was easy to contact through phone or email. They wasted no time and made me feel prioritized, when I landed at my project location I would receive emails asking how my experience was going and if there was anything that they could help me with. Their project affects real people and will leave a lasting impact on you, the sites of a land far away mixed together with instilling an essential sense of purpose for yourself and others.
