Hi,

While living abroad, some expats wish to get involved in the local community life.

What organizations expats can turn to if they want to volunteer in France?

How to join a charitable institution, what are the steps?

Which causes have the greatest need for volunteers in France?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience and advice,

Maximilien

Try the local MJC - Maison du Jeune et Culture.

I teach English for free in exchange for French lessons.

My friend teaches Germany and meditation.

Most of the adult groups are run by volunteers, well worth contacting.

A great opportunity to get to know your village.
