General information:
We are based in Ioannina, a small city in the Epirus region of Northern Greece
We require a minimum commitment of 10 weeks (a longer stay helps volunteers build meaningful relationships with our students, thus deepening their impact)
We offer:
A nurturing and collaborative working environment. We work hard to help our volunteers grow; investing in personal and professional development
Accommodation in a shared house
Transportation to/from work
After completion of a three-month trial, if you commit long-term, a small monthly expenses refund
In certain periods of the year, demand is extremely high, and the volunteer houses might be full. If you have the means to pay for your own accommodation, please let us know. We would still be happy to host you if space is available. However, in a situation where the volunteer houses are full, this would allow us to offer a volunteering opportunity to someone that cannot afford to pay rent.
Kindly find the instructions for applying on our website (under Volunteering > Youth Program Volunteer).
