  • Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has almost 380,000 inhabitants, being the biggest city in the Canary Islands.
    AEGEE is the biggest multidisciplinary organisation in the European continent. Our activities must be based, at least, on one of the following mainstays: peace and stability, cultural exchange, higher education and active citizenship.
    Some of our projects: “Where does Europe end?”, defining the idea that citizens have of Europe; “Youth UnEmployment” with the aim of raising awareness among young people about voluntary work and its usefulness for their professional life and to make entrepreneurs value this kind of “invisible” work, very difficult to certificate; “YouRope Needs You!”, to inform young people and secondary students about Europe, its institutions, exchange programmes,...
    AEGEE-Las Palmas is in our province a reference for exchange students (Erasmus, Seneca, Latin America,...).

From the first moment, volunteers will play a dynamic, active and participative role. What we ask for is an adaptation to our clear European vocation. We want people who feel Europe, its values and characteristics, who want to share their culture and show it to other young people. Volunteers will have no absolute responsibilities of events or activities, as there will be no job substitution. They will actively collaborate with us and give an added value to our regular actions, giving a new, fresh air to our activities.
