InterVolve
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.
