The project will be developed in Gandia and the region of “La Safor”, a city of a population over 80,000 people in the Mediterranean east coast of Spain between the cities of Valencia and Alicante.
La Safor is an attractive region, divided between the coast and mountainous interior. The natural habitat of the high mountains of Mustalla, Safor, Agulles and Grossa is rich with vegetation, while the coastal border is made up of plains of wide groves, long beaches and also a dense urban area.
Gandia is one of the major tourist destinations in Spain. Traditionally Gandia’s tourism has a domestic base, with the majority coming from Madrid, although in recent years it has been an increasingly popular destination for international tourists, mainly French, German and British.
The climate of Gandia is Mediterranean-subtropical with very mild temperatures during winters (10- 20°C) and very hot summers (25-35°C).

PLEASE READ VERY CAREFULLY:
This is a very challenging project volunteering with migrant minors who arrive to Spain and they do not have a family
Often the background of these minors is very delicate with very difficult life situations that provokes that their behaviour might tends to be verbally aggressive and complicated It’s very demanding but also extremely enriching and satisfying for volunteers
Please take this into consideration before applying for this project
Summary of the project:
More than 4700 minors arrived to Spain during 2018 without any family, an increase of 78% compared to the previous year. And despite the fact that according to the latest available official data on crime in Spain (2016), only 64% of the crimes registered in Spain are committed by people of African nationality, some political parties blame them for ending up in criminal circuits and to deteriorate the coexistence in the neighbourhoods, even going so far as to say that „they are out of control“ And as if that were not enough, these young people face an even greater problem when they turn 18 and reach their legal adult age, since the situation of these migrants changes radically because they are no longer under public guardianship
In reality, many of them are left unprotected and without a residence permit, despite the fact that the authorities should have provided them with the necessary documentation to obtain it By ceasing to be minors many of them are on the street, in the most absolute social marginalization
In this context, we think that it is absolutely essential to have centres like ours, where we have a resource for minors providing comprehensive and educational care for children and adolescents in a situation of custody and guardianship who are deprived of a suitable family environment, providing them with a place of residence and coexistence and an attention oriented to its holistic and community development.
