Region: Enontekio

We run a husky farm and a centre for Arctic and Polar exploration. Our husky farm has, at present, 55 adult dogs and 26 pups. Throughout the year, there are standard tasks that volunteers can help with on the farm and then there are additional daily duties that change with the seasons: from lead-dog / puppy training and construction / maintenance work around the farm in the Summer, to conditioning and safari preparation work in the Autumn, and running safaris and entertaining guests in the Winter and Spring. Our farm is c. 4km from the main village in the region of Enontekio, in finnish Lapland. There is a small downhill ski centre locally and numerous XC ski tracks / hiking trails through one of the most beautiful national parks in Scandinavia nearby. The farm owners are ex professional athletes / explorers - one of whom was the first finn to complete an unsupported expedition to the South Pole, so this is a good place to visit for those who really want to expand their outdoor skills.

Region: Asturias (N-Spain)

We live in a farmhouse with 2 ha of land in Asturias. We have 5 donkeys and often about 10 dogs, as we are volunteers for the local dog shelter and the donkey sanctuary nearby. We have a vegetable garden, apple trees and other trees. It's a great area for hiking, step out of the house and you are in the woods and we are near the Picos de Europa.

You would enjoy being in a small traditional Andalucian village setting with friendly people, some youngsters, but few foreigners so a good opportunity to improve your Spanish! You will have lots of free time, food and a small single hotel room with its own bathroom.

Region: Quetzaltenango

Our Community Center is a non-profit, non-governmental organization funded by its Spanish language school. All of our proceeds return directly to the community through our educational programs for children, which involve teaching English, art, Spanish reinforcement, mathematics, science, theater, and more at four sites on the outskirts of Quetzaltenango (Guatemala´s second-largest city). The children we serve often come from families who have been marginalized by poverty, indigenous Mayan heritage, or rural backgrounds, and many lack access to the privilege of a primary school education even though six years are theoretically provided free of charge under the Guatemalan system. Our foreign volunteers provide creative, thoughtful instruction and activities which these children would otherwise not receive. To that end we seek dedicated and enthusiastic individuals who are motivated to give back to some of the most disenfranchised communities in Quetzaltenango. If you are interested in learning about grassroots social development work through education, want to gain valuable international teaching experience, and improve your Spanish through work with kids, our Community Center has a place for you!
