Opportunities without the 'training' ?

[KJFSophie]

5 Caminos, a few nursing and mental health professional licenses, retired with time....but have yet to be able to connect to any 'training' ! There have not been volunteer trainings offered in locations or time tables that I could possibly attend during the past four years that I've been looking. I've got time, I've got skills, I've got the sense of humor, I've got the desire to volunteer and I cannot connect. I'll be in Spain 7/21 thru 8/24 this year with no concrete plan but to begin in Pamplona and walk...would love to volunteer somewhere that may need to assistance. Any thoughts?

Contact the association for whom you wish to sponsor you as a volunteer and see what they say.

Hi KJF Sophie,
I want to volunteer as well (mind you that's next year) and I can't attend the training in Australia; the closest to me. However, it appears we can still be hospitaleras by doing three days training on the job. I am overloaded with information right now and can't remember the best people to contact but the information is available here. Read volunteering threads (as already suggested) or contact the places you would like to help.
Buena suerte!

I suggest you contact Anaï from HOSVOL anahosvol@caminosantiago.org in Logroño, the coordinator for the Spanish Federation responsible for placing volunteers at donativo albergues. Explain the situation and that you are looking for on the job training.

I do know that some albergues in the Basque Country do not require
