At permaculture project Quinta do Vale a lot of work can be done. For years they have been creating their own small scale permaculture area in a Portugese valley. Through education and training they also try to have impact on a greater amount of people. But in 2017 great wildfires destroyed a large part of the valley and also a part of their permaculture property. The upside of the fires could be that locals might open up for a more sustainble land use. Taking good care of the land could have helped reducing the impact of the 2017 fires. As a volunteer you are very welcome to help them reforest the area. Get in contact through their website for updates on the volunteer needs.
They now welcome (quoted from their website):

Did you know Eagle Creek supports many different projects? Most of the projects they are supporting are located in San Diego (USA); because thats where the company originated and they like to give back to the community. They for example support the Pacific Crest Trail. There are many volunteering projects via the PCT Assocation, so if you like hiking in the mountains... Rather walk beaches? Check out this project!
Next to that they support projects that have a more international impact, for example the PackH2O inititative. This safe water transportation and storage solution helps people to get access to clean drinking water all over the world. An other project supported by Eagle Creek is The Outdoor Conservation Association, they are currently looking for volunteers all over the world.
Would you like to make a difference without leaving your home? Check, for example, the Kiva initiative.
Are you interested in the beautiful nature of East Asia? Have you always wanted to experience Japanese living outside of the big cities? Or are you looking for opportunities to expand your knowledge and experience in conservation? Picchio wildlife research center in Karuizawa, Japan, is looking for volunteers! They are mostly a bear conservation and eco-tourism center, and volunteering will probably mainly be centered around these two activities. Check out their website to see what they do and fill out the contact form to get in touch with them to find out more or discuss possible dates.

Rwanda Village Concept Project (RVCP) is a non-governmental, non-political, voluntary organisation run by students at the University of Rwanda (UR). The mission of RVCP is to improve health and living standards of the underprivileged communities.
The students that run this organisation are very welcoming to international visiters who are interested in humanitarian work and want to truly experience the Rwandan culture. Working with students and (local) volunteers is a key part of the foundation upon which RVCP was built, as it strives to increase awareness and develop students’ problem solving skills, aptitude for fieldwork and project planning abilities. They also work with partner organisations based all over the world including Britain, American, Germany, Sweden and Denmark.
RVCP has various projects that have been set-up and organised by Rwandan student themselves. They currently run 6 programs (but are always coming up with new creative ideas and programs):
If you want to know more about RVCP, their projects and their contact information, please visit their website: www.rwandavcp.org or their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/rwandavcp/
