Emaús

We are the proper place if you want to feel you're acting on something. We have different projects going on, all to support the homeless community : from vintage store to cultural events, we're growing, and we like to make new ideas happen !

We, as a community, love to welcome people. It makes sense for us to show a different way to live, a different way to care about homeless by making them owner of their lifes. The life at the community is an experience for everyone that has joined us !

Me encantó mi experiencia en Emaús <3 Las chicas y los compañeros de Canecas son todos muy buena gente, con buena energía y siempre buscan integrarte. El trabajo es tranquilo, divertido y llevadero. Está bueno pasar por las dos sedes de Emaús, tanto Canecas y Lisboa porque son dos experiencias distintas y buenas las dos. Estuve sólo dos semanas pero me hubiese quedado más! Definitivamente recomiendo esta experiencia

My time here was really made by the interns and people living in the community who are so kind and funny. It's a very beautiful place made clearly by a lot of hard work. The hours are long (about 42 a week in Canecas) but because my stay fell on some national holidays I got some extra days off. You will be in a shared dorm with possibly up to 5 other people. For girls the closest toilet is a dry one outside and the showers are in the laundry room which I do think were a little misrepresented in the photos on here. If you're veggie you cook your own food also :) I am glad for the experience

Volunteering at Emaus was one the best travel experiences I have ever had. You can expect to work 5 days a week 8:30-6:30. But the days and weeks will fly by and before you know it you will feel like part of the family. Even with just 2 days off you can explore so much of Portugal (if you’re willing to take some early and some late buses). Additionally, you will get to meet the most loving, kind, and supportive people . I could go on and on, but I’ll just say this. If you’re thinking about traveling to Portugal and volunteering at Emaus, do it. You won’t regret it, I promise :)

Emaús is such a special place with beautiful, warm people. I felt so safe, comfortable, and happy here. The work was super manageable and fulfilling. And the community felt like home in my short time there.

I’ve made so many memories that I’ll treasure forever. 🩵

Volunteering at Emaus was my first world packers experience and it was absolutely amazing. The work was so fulfilling and the people there were so welcoming and kind. I got to meet some amazing people while I was there and make an impact on the community. If you want to work hard to make a good contribution but also have a great time and meet amazing people, you should definitely volunteer here.
Thank you Ophelie, Eva, and Umberto for everything you have done for me and everything you’re doing for the community. I will miss everyone there dearly ❤️
