ESC: Social Media & Communications Volunteer

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Based in the vibrant Zografou district of Athens, near the University campus, our organization, the EEEK Athens, is a youth-focused NGO dedicated to empowering young individuals, especially those from migrant backgrounds. Established by a group of 20 visionaries and driven by a core team of five dedicated members, we aim to address two critical areas: youth entrepreneurship and healthy living. Our primary objective is to cultivate entrepreneurial skills among university students, preparing them for the competitive landscape of the free market. We place a significant emphasis on integrating marginalized youth, particularly from migrant backgrounds, into our activities. This integration not only fosters a sense of community but also promotes diversity and inclusivity. Another key focus area is promoting a healthy lifestyle among the youth. Recognizing the shift towards physical activities during the pandemic, we are now taking a step further by introducing concepts of nutritious diets and the benefits of microgreens. Our goal is to break the stereotype that superfoods are only for the affluent, making them accessible to all, especially young people. Our target groups are primarily university students in Zografou, with a special focus on young individuals from migrant backgrounds. Through our various activities, we strive to create a supportive environment where these young people can develop their skills, enhance their well-being, and contribute positively to society.

💼 What the programme involves

The ESC volunteer for Social Media & Communications will focus on enhancing the organization's visibility. Key responsibilities include managing and updating social media profiles (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook), creating engaging content (posts, graphics, videos), and running online campaigns to promote events and initiatives. The volunteer will also assist in updating the website, creating newsletters, and providing support in event promotion. Secondary tasks include community engagement, responding to inquiries, and analyzing social media performance. Administrative support will involve document management, scheduling meetings, and coordinating resources. Training will be provided in content creation, digital marketing, and communication skills, with opportunities to improve English and Greek proficiency. This position is ideal for a creative individual passionate about communication and willing to contribute to a meaningful cause while developing valuable skills.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will receive €14 per day for pocket money and food. Accommodation will be in a 3-bedroom apartment shared with 3 other ESC volunteers. Each volunteer will have their own room or space within a room. The apartment is equipped with a shared kitchen, bathroom, and living room. It is located in a safe area, popular with university students, and only a 12-minute walk from the organization's office. This provides a comfortable and secure living environment with easy access to work.

🎒 Leisure activities

During the ESC opportunity, the volunteer will receive comprehensive training in social media management, content creation, and digital marketing. Additional workshops will focus on enhancing communication skills, website management, and event promotion. Language support will be provided to improve both English and Greek proficiency.

This training ensures the volunteer gains valuable experience in digital communication and organizational operations.

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).
