We rely on volunteers to help us run our Score4TheFuture programme, which delivers psychosocial support through sports activities. We particularly need volunteers who have experience in running/delivering sports sessions. We also seek volunteers, especially with lived experience as a refugee, to support our communications and fundraising (social media, crowdfunding campaigns, grants and more).

Anyone who is at least 21 years old, abides by the principles of dignity, respect, and accountability, and is willing to submit to a background check before starting.

We ask volunteers to commit to at least one month (part-time), but other arrangements might be possible.

If you are an international volunteer, you are expected to cover the cost of your travel to Greece and living expenses, including housing. We will cover your transportation costs to and from the activity sessions.

Volunteers typically live in rented accommodation in Athens. There is a reasonable train service between Athens and Avlida (the nearest train station to our sessions for residents of Ritsona camp), with the journey taking approx 1 hr 10 mins. Likewise, there is an hourly train service from Athens to Corinth (where our other sessions take place), which takes approx 1 hr 5 mins.

If you are a remote volunteer, there is no renumeration.

You will gain humanitarian field experience, working directly with asylum-seekers as part of a dedicated, friendly, multicultural team. Before starting, you will receive a general induction and a Child Protection session to prepare you for your role.
