Volunteering is a rewarding way to experience any city. Copenhagen is no different. It’s also a great way to brush up and learn the local language though most people in Copenhagen speak very good English. Volunteering gives you an excellent opportunity to meet new people and is an invaluable way to open up your mind to new cultures and people.
