Sports Coaching Program

Volunteers in Cordoba stay at one of two centrally located hostels in Córdoba. Both are positioned in strategic areas close to shopping centers, business districts, cinemas, theaters, bars, and restaurants.

The hostels offer the following facilities :-

• Fully equipped shared facilities
• Hot showers
• TV and Wi-Fi access
• A fully equipped kitchen for cooking

Meals are not provided, but volunteers can prepare their own food or visit nearby affordable restaurants and cafes. Supermarkets are open from 8:00 to 22:00.These hostels are ideal for volunteers who enjoy independence while meeting travelers and students from all over the world.

Volunteers in the Puma Reserve and Horse Sanctuary program stay within the project location itself. Meals are provided to the volunteers at the project itself.

We encourage volunteers to get in touch with former Volunteering Solutions program participants and also other program participants joining our projects. You are recommended to join the Volunteering Solutions Facebook Group to communicate with other participants. To read alumni interviews from past participants, visit the Meet a Volunteer page on our website.

We can only provide contact details for former volunteers who have consented to having their data shared. However, there is a Facebook group for past and current volunteers which you are welcome to join. There are also hundreds of reviews online from our former volunteers as well as social media posts on Instagram, TikTok and our You Tube Channel.

For individual volunteers:

You will arrive on the same start date as other volunteers joining at the same time and will be part of a cohort for your program. This means you’ll share the same orientation day, accommodation, and overall experience; a great way to meet new people and make friends from around the world. The best time to join if you want to meet lots of other volunteers is July and August as these are the most popular months.

For groups:
If you already have a group, we also accept applications from university and college groups, high school groups, corporate teams, families, and groups of friends. Your group can fill in our Group Application Form, providing details such as the number of participants, preferred duration, budget, and destination. We take special care in providing your group with a placement that best suits your goals, and we can customise your itinerary to ensure you get exactly the experience you’re looking for. For groups of five or more, we can even design special group programs that combine meaningful volunteer work with cultural immersion and travel opportunities. All our programs, whether individual or group, are designed to be safe, affordable, and rewarding, offering every volunteer a memorable and impactful experience.
