About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Irida Women’s Center is a Greek civil non-profit organisation that supports refugee, migrant & local women who are among the most vulnerable. We are a community of more than 500 members from over 50 countries. We provide individualized psycho-social support, protection services, and legal counseling, based on our members' unique needs. We also provide skill-building opportunities for our members, including Greek and English language classes, employability support, and opportunities for professional development, in addition to offering various artistic and recreational group activities, and a strong community network.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers are going to be accommodated in a fully equipped building located in the city centre, near the main bus and train station of the city. It is an autonomous 5 floored building of 150 m2 per floor and a terrace on the 6th floor. Volunteer will share the room with 1-3 roommates. We provide our volunteers with three meals per day through a catering service that prepares the food according to their preferences and allergies (also for vegetarian). Food allowance is provided for the weekends. Bus and metro transportation cards are also provided.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will be supported with some trainings that are related to their project field to be volunteering more efficiently, as well as some trainings for their personal development. Volunteers will also follow the trainings organised by the Greek National Agency.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
