About the project

ESC: Roots & Seasons: A Year of Building, Growing, and Belonging

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Join us for a fully funded, long-term volunteering experience in Skiathos, Greece, part of an off-grid community for up to a year.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will pick up unfinished projects left by past volunteers and trainings, from natural building to land infrastructure, and help bring them to completion. You will rebuild fencing to protect the garden from the neighbour's goats, then get it growing again. And you will share daily life, welcoming visitors and taking part in the rhythm of an off-grid community through every season.

🎒 Leisure activities

Expect off-grid living with solar energy, a full year cycle through all four seasons, shared meals, learning by doing, and online and on-site trainings alongside your daily work.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for 3 long-term volunteers, up to 12 months. Apply early, applications are reviewed as they are received.

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport

Before applying for this volunteering project, you need to enroll yourself at European Solidarity Corps Platform (https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity_en) and specify your European Solidarity Corps Participant Number (PRN).
