Add first reviewSince 2015

We are looking to recruit people for our Youth Program, for a minimum commitment of 10 weeks. The Youth Program works with young refugees and asylum seekers in the Epirus region of Northern Greece, providing them with a sense of community and experiences that they wouldn’t otherwise receive! There are some specific applicant requirements; the most important is to have a strong desire to work with young refugees and have the commitment to improve the situation for them here in Greece. Second Tree works in a transparent way in a challenging and changeable situation in the field; therefore, the ability to learn quickly and be open to feedback is vital.
