📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Archipelagos Institute of Marine Conservation is a non-profit, non-governmental organization committed to researching and defending the biodiversity of the Greek seas and islands, as well as the entire eastern Mediterranean. Since its creation in 1998, Archipelagos has been focusing on the combination of multidisciplinary scientific research and efficient conservation work in which local communities play an active part.
The work of the volunteer consists of:
Working alongside the admissions, administration and account staff and assisting each area when needed. Dealing with the daily admissions emails and arranging interviews with potential interns and liaising with supervising staff on site. The role will include organizing the recruitment documentation and dealing with intern related matters on site.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation is shared with 2 – 4 other participants of the same gender, in a dormitory style room with bathroom. Offering electricity, shared common kitchen/dining areas, running water, laundry machine and clothing line. Showers are heated partially by solar power but there is back up electrical water heating in the colder months. The accommodation is not air conditioned.
Included are three meals per day, served at the accommodation/base. The style of food is typically Greek and dishes are simple, including dishes such as pastas, salads, legumes, seasonal fruit and vegetables.
