Can’t find information about the third sector? Discover the Library of the Spanish Volunteering Platform

Knowledge is power, and in the social sphere, accessing quality information can make a significant difference. However, finding tools, data, and studies applied to the third sector is not always easy. For this reason, the Spanish Volunteering Platform (PVE) has created its Library, a virtual space that compiles its own documents along with materials from other third-sector organizations and public administrations. This repository provides practical manuals, reports, and studies that guide professionals and those interested in the social field.

Among the available materials are:

• Practical guides: documents offering guidance on how to manage solidarity projects or implement best practices in social intervention. Topics covered include accessibility, migration policies, and ethics in volunteering.
• Research reports: studies that provide an up-to-date perspective on the third sector. Notable examples include the economic impact of volunteering in Spain (PVE), gender stereotypes in social and health care (EAPN), and the analysis of poverty (FOESSA Report).
• Training materials: courses, manuals, and tools aimed at both volunteers and technical staff of organizations. Among these, resources for developing an Equality Plan stand out.

One of the defining features of the PVE Library is its commitment to accessibility, offering resources in easy-to-read formats and adaptations for people with functional diversity.

In short, the PVE Library is a must for those looking to explore and deepen their knowledge of the third sector. This space not only facilitates access to quality information but also serves as a bridge to connect with organizations. Explore it and discover all it has to offer!
