We are always looking for people who can spend time help us deliver aid with dignity at refugee camps across Greece.
Working at a refugee camp is not easy, but it is extremely rewarding. To find out more about what it’s like, read our volunteer stories or watch these videos:
We work at a number of camps, and you can find out more about them here and via regular updates on our Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. We currently work all week in LM Village and Katsikas and one day a week in Doliana. This thorough guide about Katsikas camp will give you a good idea of what is involved and how we work. There is a clear system so you will be able to get started straight away with responsibilities.
Things on the ground can change quite quickly, as we try to go where we are needed while offering consistency and reliability.
No! All you need is a ready smile and a willingness to get involved with whatever is needed. We do ask you to volunteer for a minimum of two and a maximum of four weeks.
You will need to fund your own travel and accommodation (between €20 to €40 a day depending on the accommodation options). We have even more love for volunteers who can raise money for supplies! You will need to set up a fundraising page before you come but we do not ask for any minimum amount. Any funds you raise will make a difference.
If you would like to volunteer with us, please read the Code-of-Conduct and our Safeguarding Policy(both important documents), before completing our Volunteer Agreement and Application. One of our team will then ask you to a Skype interview to let you know more.
We aim to improve the livelihoods and outcomes for refugees by prioritising dignity and cooperation. In order to do so, we strongly believe in the need to adhere to high professional and ethical standards.
Please be aware that all visitors to the camps can be refused entry unless they register in advance with us or one of the other NGOs.
