“Our program is for 99% powered and made possible by volunteers. Without this strong community, we would not be able to support vulnerable groups in Barcelona and offer them new opportunities in life.“

Vincent van Grondelle – Program Manager of Migracode Barcelona

Time commitment

We know how hard it can be to volunteer next to your job, your family life or even next to other volunteering work you may do. Therefore, we offer many various sorts of volunteering, of which the majority is completely flexible, meaning you can choose when and how to help, either one-to-one or in our classes.

Just a few requirements

Experience in and knowledge of the field you would like to support us with. We don’t have a large management team so you need to be able to work independently

A good level of English is required to help at Migracode Barcelona. Speaking Spanish, Catalan and/or Arabic is considered to be a great advantage

Of course we also understand you want to get professional experience – which you will -, but the main reason for joining Migracode should be an intrinsic motivation to support vulnerable groups
