Life changing experience!

It was my first time volunteering abroad, and I only regret doing it for a short time. Giving back to society, and helping cook meals for the people in need, feels so rewarding. No matter how small, doing this can still go a long way and make an impact. I am extremely happy I got to do this and enjoy Athens at the same time. I can't wait to do it again!

Experience Greece for 1 month

I volunteered in Athens for 1 month at a Free Shop, where people who need clothes come and get clothes and other necessities for free. It was an amazing experience getting to experience Greece while helping others. I am glad I got to work with such kind people. The program staff in Athens were always happy to help us. The accommodations were at a hostel which had some problems, which the program staff assisted in solving. On the weekends I had time to explore other parts of Greece, which helped balance out the experience. Overall I learned and experienced a lot by going on this program, it was a great way to meet locals and experience Greece in a unique way.
