InterVolve is a Greek, Non Profit Organisation taking grassroots action to facilitate basic human rights for refugees, migrants and vulnerable populations in Northern Greece. We fill gaps and offer resources and support. Since 2015, we have been fortunate to have had dedicated volunteers who have made a real difference, working alongside refugee communities in camps, and on urban projects. Building on these experiences, we are now expanding our team, so we can offer new resources to people facing ever changing and ever enduring challenges.

While in Larissa and on the team I could see my fit as a handyman, logisitcs expert, driver, and just about anything else they threw at me. I also had many opportunties to work (play really) with the refugees, childrens and other organizations. It was one of the most wonderful times of my life because of the people. The InterVolve staff and other volunteers accepted me and my skills into the mission and helped broaden me to w...
