We are looking for team players who are also able to work independently. We need people who are patient, professional and are prepared to respect the pre-existing systems and code of conduct we’ve developed over the years to make our services as fair and smooth-running as possible, but who can also bring new, fresh ideas, energy and enthusiasm. Our timetable and each volunteer’s role varies depending on day-to-day needs. For this reason, an open-mind and a flexible approach to work are essential. You may assist with:
- reception shifts,
- facilitating recreational activities,
- teaching classes,
- distributing clothing in our warehouse, and/or
- other tasks depending on our projects and needs.
Two months minimum commitment, but preferably longer, due to the nature of our work (if you are a returning volunteer we can also consider you if you cannot meet the miminum commitment)
Can communicate in English
Over the age of 20
A working phone with WhatsApp
Self-funded: this includes organising and covering the costs of your own transport, living costs, and activities outside of our projects. (For more information, see our Travel & Accommodation page)
We accept researchers or interns on an ad hoc basis; please be very clear in your application what it is you intend to do, and be aware that Samos Volunteers can only offer limited added supervision and paperwork
