🇪🇸 ESC Volunteering in Spain 🏕️ Summer Camps for Kids & Teens in the Heart of Madrid 🌞

If your idea of a meaningful summer involves working with children, being part of a creative team, and actually doing something — this ESC placement in Madrid’s Vallecas district is worth your full attention.

Coordinadora Infantil y Juvenil de Tiempo Libre de Vallecas is an organisation with deep roots in community-based leisure and youth work in one of Madrid’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. Their My ESC Summer project brings together international volunteers and local educators to run summer camps for children and teenagers — and they want people who are genuinely motivated to make it work.

What Is This Role About?

This is a summer camp volunteering placement. You will be working directly with children and teenagers in the Vallecas district of Madrid, supporting leisure and recreational activities throughout the camp programme. This is not a passive role — volunteers are expected to contribute to planning, participate in team meetings, and bring their own ideas to the table.

The organisation makes it clear: your opinion matters here. Volunteers sit alongside educators and local volunteers in meetings, and their input is genuinely taken into account.
