Community Support
In the vibrant urban landscape of Barcelona, the stark realities of inequality and poverty are unmissable. For those grappling with life's harsher challenges—limited access to social services, economic instability, inadequate housing, or the elusive search for employment—the path to dignity and stability is steep.
There's no universal remedy for poverty or social risk, no “one size fits all solutions”.
That is the philosophy of the Community Support Program!
We tailor our approach to meet diverse needs, offering a spectrum of support—from free basic amenities like food, clothing, and medical care, to empowering individuals through football, or even teaching languages.
Our mission is not just to alleviate hardship, but to uplift lives, partnering with dedicated non-profit organizations across the city.
Depending on your skills, experience, and passion, there’s a place for you to make an impact:
– Support the local host center: Engage in the heart of our operations by preparing meals, managing facilities, or sorting donations. Contribute to educational and language training initiatives, helping beneficiaries regain confidence and skills.
– Teach Languages: Share your linguistic talents by teaching English or Spanish in a nurturing, supportive environment, helping marginalized communities to voice their needs, hopes and dreams.
– Playing for Integration: Join sports teams focused on integrating young immigrants and refugees, or assist individuals battling addiction through engaging sports activities.
Barcelona, with its rich cultural tapestry, exemplifies how communities can effect change. Here you can see how different approaches and different non profits reach so many lives!
Join Community Support, and be part of a movement where every action, big or small, contributes to a collective effort of rebuilding lives in an environment marked by diversity, respect and humanity
