In certain periods of the year, demand is extremely high, and the volunteer houses might be full. If you have the means to pay for your own accommodation, please let us know. We would still be happy to host you if space is available. However, in a situation where the volunteer houses are full, this would allow us to offer a volunteering opportunity to someone that cannot afford to pay rent.
NOTE: If you require a visa to stay in Greece for the minimum ten-week commitment, please know that as a Greek NGO, we are unable to sponsor your visa.

Nicole Ilunga Foundation
The Nicole Ilunga Foundation actively works to combat gender inequality through initiatives focused on protection, education, and healthcare.
The Democratic Republic of Congo's low female representation in economic and political spheres, despite constitutional and international commitments and despite the current prime minister being a woman, demands urgent attention. Shocking statistics reveal that fewer than 10% of women are involved in political bodies, and those who do participate face frequent violence and harassment. Overcoming cultural, social, and economic barriers is essential to enhancing women's political engagement.
Nicole Ilunga Foundation is dedicated to implementing a comprehensive range of educational activities aimed at empowering women and youth, especially those from underserved backgrounds, to take on leadership roles, advocate for change, and develop entrepreneurial skills.

Introduction
The English-Speaking Union (ESU), is a charity and membership organisation that works to give young people the speaking and listening skills and cross-cultural understanding they need to thrive.

We are looking for volunteers to help support and judge our competitions, please find details below:

There are opportunities throughout the year, each requiring around 4-5 hours’ commitment from late afternoon onwards. Full training is given, and it’s great fun, with students often covering thought-provoking topics from obesity and the NHS to Churchill and what defines happiness.
