Below is a brief excerpt from this section:

Careers in NGOs and the non-profit sector can be richly rewarding experiences, allowing employees to contribute their skills to deserving causes and communities where such assistance is highly valuable. Many employees of NGOs and non-profit organizations find their work to be personally fulfilling and spend their entire careers in the non-profit sector.

More than 500,000 professionals work in the non-profit sector, which is more than 3% of the country’s workers. These figures have fluctuated significantly in recent years though, and organizations sometimes function predominantly with volunteers, temporary contracts or part-time positions.

Volunteering offers a good opportunity to become familiar with an organization’s background, as well as to get hired for a temporary position should a project-related position arise.  Spaniards are open and happy to welcome foreigners, so the country is a fun place to volunteer.
