COMPARTIMOS
MEET OUR TEAM
Helena Lorente Merino
CEO of Ecocompartimos
I stand firmly for the right of equal opportunities and I believe that it is possible through education. For this reason, after a long dedication to get to where we are, Ecocompartimos offers new opportunities mainly to youngsters and women through non-formal education.
Commitment, consistency and dedication are the pillars that we stand on.
Marina Lorente
Lawyer, social worker and mediator of Ecocompartimos.
I have always thought that our work in life is meaningful as much as we contribute into the world by making it a better place. For several days of dedication, Ecocompartimos have been realizing this principle through actions and values that promote non-formal learning, exchange, accompaniment, cross-cultural relations and abolition of barriers.

RECENT EXPERIENCES
Bruno
Volunteer and teacher. click on the image to see my experience.
Hello all readers! I'm Bruno, and I want to tell you about my experience in Illescas, a small town in Spain, where I am volunteering.I arrived on May 6 and, the next day, I was already teaching English to Spanish and Moroccan children. It was a new experience for me, and although at first the children tested me, little by little I learned to handle them. This, honestly, gave me a lot of satisfaction. The adults, on the other hand, were much more collaborative, which made classes with them more fluid. Click on the image and you will know more.

It was unique and unforgettable...the situation was akwards for Covid period, but certently was something anyone could have predicted. Nevertheless, I found a way to continue our work by adjusting to the changes...
Maria Ramos
Volunteer and teacher
I believe there are many opportunities and moments in people's lives for learning and education that all of us have the right for. In Ecocompartimos, we all teach and learn; many small people doing small actions only expecting in return to improve the world that we all share - this is how I see my own voluntary contribution.
Cristina Martínez
Volunteer, supervisor in summer camp
I knew about Ecocompartimos when I participated in one exchange program in Cantabria. It was a very good experience where I met people with different cultural background and I had a wonderful time. Later I was a summer camp supervisor and I was surprised by what children and teenagers are able to teach you.
María Victoria Jiménez
Volunteer
Without a doubt, one of the best experiences. I have always wanted to participate in an European volunteering service, but Ecocompartimos and Helena gave me a lot more. I was able to take part in many projects in different parts of the world. Thanks to this, I was able to focus on my professional career, in addition, to LEARN, travel and, above all, enjoy. Thanks for everything!

Ecocompartimos and volunteering have simply made me reevaluate my future; choose between staying in a mental and physical box forever or looking beyond my comfort zone and help myself, other people and countries with needs to develop.

Ecocompartimos has helped me to get to know the diversity that exists in the world that we live in, to learn from it and to enjoy and share what we've learnt.
Sarah Rumboll
Volunteer
I've had the privilege of working with Ecocompartimos for almost three years now. I have learnt so much about myself and other through teaching English as a second language.
Lara Sost
Volunteer, supervisor in summer camp
These are the experiences that I can highly recommend because volunteering is so enriching and it will allow you to improve your capacities, including learn to speak a foreign language, English.
Here is only a small amount of people who helped us grow and improve and we are thankful for their contribution of their time, energy and passion. During the years we had lots of such kind and passionate people who were willing to volunteer with us. If you want to get to know some of these volunteers, click the button below.
