where: Souda camp (Chios) (exact entrance location)

in charge: Nicholas Millet

We have now completed our fifth successful month running our school and youth centre for the refugee children on Chios Island. As the sole provider of a holistic non-formal education programme, our role on the Island is as important as ever.

We currently have around 200 children aged between 6 and 18 years old attending our school per week and 100 youth aged between 12 and 20 years old attending our youth centre. Our team is made up of a teachers, musicians, artists, nurses and social workers etc. We promote diversity within our volunteer group and believe that the most important qualities you have is the passion and enthusiasm to make a difference and support the education of these children.

The role would include:

Teaching in the Refugee School:
- developing exciting and engaging lesson plans in subjects such as English and Maths
- developing exciting project lessons (music, drama and art etc)
- working with volunteers from all around the world

Volunteering in the youth centre:
- working with teenagers aged between 12 and 20 years old
- supervising and partaking in cooking sessions
- running gym and other sport sessions
- teaching english, german, greek
- working with the volunteer community to develop the project and help provide more education for those currently on Chios island

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for people who share our vision of "let kids be kids". We are not an academic institution in the traditional sense but instead aiming to restore the childhood of children who have lost their innocence due to war and the conditions and vulnerabilities of being a refugee in Europe.

Free accommodation and mobility is provided for all volunteers on the island
