Volunteer for beach clean ups in Chicago.  

Keeping Chicago’s beaches clean starts with you! Adopt-a-Beach cleanups are a fun, free, easy way to give back to the community and keep plastic pollution out of the Great Lakes.

At Adopt-a-Beach cleanups, locally organized teams of volunteers, led by volunteer Team Leaders, clean local beaches and collect data on the litter they find. After the cleanups end, the Team Leaders enter litter data into our database, helping to form a picture of coastal litter across the entire Great Lakes region.

Despite “adopt” in the name, no long-term commitment is required.

Charitable Travel will help you plan and book your next holiday to Chicago, Illinois, and can tailor your trip to allow time for you to get involved in this project, which you will need to arrange directly via the link below.

Volunteer for monitoring and research or raising awareness of conservation issues.

Formerly the Atlantic Whale Foundation, the AWDF is a UK Registered Charity (Number 1167109). It was founded to continue the work of Spanish environmental agency, Proyecto Ambiental Tenerife, twenty five years ago and runs the volunteer programme on the island’s whale watching boats, one of the largest whale watching centres in the world.

There are two key volunteer tasks on the whale watching boats:

Monitoring and researching resident Pilot Whales and Bottlenose Dolphins, and Migratory species. The charity’s databases span thirty continuous years and contain over 13,000 observations making them amongst the most complete sources of information on cetaceans in the world. Volunteers have used the data for thousands of dissertations from ‘A’ level to PhD.

Raising awareness of conservation issues with the one million European tourists who see nature at its very best when enjoying their whale watching experience. The AWDF’s conservation programme is aimed at raising awareness of the devastating impact of plastic pollution on the marine environment.

Volunteers are expected to help look after the animals, including walking dogs. 

Animal Rescue Algarve (ARA) is a legally constituted Portuguese Charity Association with the prime objective of caring for and subsequently rehoming stray, abandoned and distressed dogs and cats.

ARA volunteers are essential to the charity’s operation and for Cabanita to work as effectively as it does and to have the record of rehomings it enjoys is categorically down to the number of dogs and cats per handler. The charity aims at a ratio of no more than 7/8 dogs per handler which normally allows for every dog to be walked daily outside the shelter in the nearby rural surroundings This ratio also allows for socialising time in the kennels and/or in the free-range parks. This can only be economically done with a large number of volunteers.
ARA has a few daily local volunteers but one of the main features is that at any one time the charity can accommodate a large number of volunteers in four portacabins and a house. The vast majority come from The International WorkAway Scheme. These volunteers get free accommodation in return for about 6 hours work per day over a 5 day week, however they often spend much of their off-time socialising with the animals either in the kennels and/or even in their rooms.

Volunteers can help with goods collection campaigns in supermarkets, transport sick animals to the vets, walk animals at the shelter, help clean kennels, etc.  

Associação Bianca was founded on July 17, 2002, but it was only in 2006 that the shelter was created with a capacity for 50 animals. Over the years, the shelter has undergone improvements and today has 400 dogs and 100 cats in permanent residence. Bianca’s mission is to save abandoned and endangered animals from the municipality of Sesimbra, whenever possible, and to promote the recovery of animals in their charge and help them find their forever home.

All animals, regardless of their age or condition, have a second chance at this shelter.

Associação Bianca raises awareness of the huge problem of animal overpopulation, the importance of sterilizing companion animals and environmental protection.

Volunteers can provide care for the animals, promote their adoptions, assist with veterinary treatments, participate in food collections, promote events, or become a temporary host family among other options.  

Founded in 1957, the INSTITUTO ZOÓFILO QUINTA CARBONNE is a non-profit, administrative public utility humanitarian association.

As a result of the lack of people to take over its management, it was handed over to the Portuguese League for Animal Rights which, since the beginning of 2012, has taken over the shelter, in Tercena, where there were about 120 animals, mostly elderly, in poor health and malnourished.

The space where the animals were, as there had never been any work done, was in very poor condition, with the floor on earth, fallen doors, torn separation nets, no drainage for cleaning water, a danger to the health of the animals. animals and the employees who work there.

Since then, LPDA has been recovering all these animals, providing them with daily veterinary support, good nutrition and better hygiene and health conditions. With this, we hope to make them more easily adopted.
