Volunteering
KMC Granada is a non-profit organization. All the work done at the Center is carried out with the help of volunteers, and there are many ways you can support our activities and help us grow. Volunteering is a fun way to meet like-minded people, learn new skills, and get more involved. Anyone can volunteer and can take as much or as little time as you like.
At this time we do not have accommodation available at our Centre, so we cannot facilitate work visits during holidays/volunteering with accommodation.
However, please tell us about your skills and how you would like to help. We will get in touch with you shortly.
Thank you so much
