Guardians of Nature is a volunteer project supporting the Santa Bárbara Altea Estiu summer schools—an educational initiative that helps teenagers and local children reconnect with nature and understand the value of their environment. Taking place in the beautiful natural surroundings of Altea, five international volunteers will join a dynamic team to co-create and develop engaging activities and workshops, promoting awareness of local flora, fauna, and sustainable living.
Volunteers will work closely with coordinators and campleaders to design and lead morning workshops for local children, while afternoons will be filled with group and summer camp-style activities including excursions, relaxation sessions, and hands-on experiences in natural sciences and rural life.
This is a screen-free, nature-centered environment that encourages shared learning, creativity, and coexistence. Volunteers are expected to bring initiative, flexibility, and a spirit of collaboration, as they will play an active role in shaping the experience for themselves and the participants.
A good command of English is required, and Spanish or Valencian is a plus. Be prepared for hot summer weather and outdoor conditions.
