I volunteered for two weeks in 2 locations of Fundacion Tomillo ( one is in Calle Albunuelas and…read moresecond location in their after school program in Colegio Carmen Cabezuelo)
"Great" Features
1. Staff (Ana, Coral, Margarita, Javi and many more) are very friendly and nice.
2. The organization was willing to have me volunteer with them for 2 weeks and I first contacted them by email
3. The students ages between 10 - 27 years old are motivated to learn English
4. The mission of the organization to help low income , high risk youth is very inspiring
5. I enjoyed my time especially with the 10-14 y/o group - they are fun, happy, playful and willing to learn
6. Great place to volunteer even for travelers like myself that stayed in Madrid only for over 2 weeks.
"Not So Great" Features
1. Long distance between the 2 locations I volunteer to, kinda far from each other so long commute between Metro stops and just a short time in between classes in different locations
