Volunteers
We start with a 3-4 week WORK CAMP in
May-June completely staffed by volunteers. This will get the
centre up and running after its winter hibernation. This rewarding
session allows for those who like physical outdoors stuff to put their
mind to rest and become absorbed in other activities.
From early June we then support the workshops by
shopping, driving, cooking, cleaning etc throughout the summer
and our Closing WORK CAMP starts
late Sept for two- three weeks.
Meet new and interesting people, get fit and
enjoy working in Greece .
Work is required for three hours in the morning and 2
in the evening, 1 day off a week, the rest is up to you...
Do I pay, and if so, how much?
We are a non-profit-making organization; all staff, including our
Management Team, offer their time and skills voluntarily and unpaid.
We do not produce any goods for sale nor build a brand or equity on
the property, as we rent the place on an annual bases. Any help we
receive goes a long way, so we ask volunteers to help by donating
their time and a small donation of £42 per week to help us
meet our costs. (food, fuel etc.)
Don't let this put you off, we are always open to discussion.
We ask that this donation is paid upfront to secure your place as we
cannot take on any more volunteers once we have met our quota.
Your stay includes board, meals, regular lifts to the beach and free
Internet access (within reason). We do go out for one meal a week to
a Taverna, but you are welcome to eat at the centre that night if
you'd prefer.
Book early to avoid
disappointment!
Volunteers usually subscribe for a minimum stay of 2
weeks but shorter or longer is fine - there is a review at the end
of every two weeks to see if there is a mutual desire to continue.
Your weeks do not need to be consecutive and you don't have to
arrive on a Friday - in fact, arriving a day or two before helps us
prepare for our Friday turn around. This flexibility helps you to
book the cheapest flights and assists us in running the centre more
smoothly.

We are always very grateful for any donations that people can make.
For us, the greatest donation is your time, effort and any skills you
bring. Thank you.
