Life changing experience!

by: Cynthia Aoun - LebanonProgram: Most Affordable Volunteering in Athens, Greece!
10

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!

A Guide to Volunteering Abroad for 2-4 Weeks

Understand the Benefits

While many may think a small volunteering trip may be inconsequential, they’d be wrong. There’s plenty to gain from volunteering any amount of time.

  • Power in numbers. Even if you can’t participate in an elongated volunteer project, any amount of work you can contribute is beneficial to communities and organizations all across the world.
