⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: We strongly believe that all the young people who are willing to collaborate & are thirsty for learning, can realize a very good & fruitful program as long as they are not afraid to “get their hands dirty” & see the glass as "half full" instead of “half empty"!
Our only requirement is to be creative, positive, flexible, ready to offer & respect & adapt to our Island’s community & habits.
The will to work with schools, children, young people & children with special needs & to assist in various institutions of the island that heavily rely on volunteers will be highly appreciated.
