Become a Volunteer in Malta

Whether you’re looking for volunteer opportunities in Malta or just wondering how to start, we connect individuals with local NGOs and causes that truly need support.

Helping Can Be Simple

Yes, but...

❌ "I don't have enough time."

We understand that your time is valuable.

What if just one hour was enough to truly help someone? The same time you’d spend watching a movie, scrolling for the next funny video, or sitting in a café, could become something deeply meaningful.

❌ "I don't want to give up time with my family."

You don’t have to choose between helping others and being with your family.

Some activities are 'Family Friendly'. It’s a chance to spend time together and show your children what kindness looks like in real life. Kids learn by watching and this is a beautiful way to teach.

❌ "I don't know how to start."

We hear you - starting is the hardest part.

We’ve designed everything so it’s easy, clear, and personal. The only thing you need is to say “yes.” We’ll take care of the rest.
