Good platform that enables lawyers to help asylum seekers by providing information and preparing them for interviews. Requires quite some preparation ahead of stay (depending on background) and admin tasks throughout to ensure proper follow up of clients. I would recommend this to any lawyer that has only around 3 weeks, is independent/can look after him/herself/take initiative, and wants to provide concrete help to people.
After 5 weeks in Nea Kavala and 2 weeks in Lesvos, i definitely recommend volunteering with Drop in the Ocean, it’s a very well run NGO, donations used well, there is a great emphasis on volunteers, coordinators are well trained and coached, and volunteers are great. But the experience was very different in both locations and i recommend you do some research on what is happening on Lesvos before you apply, so you choose the location that best suits your expectations and desires.
