🏢 About the local organisation
Estia Agios Nikolaos is the only life-sharing community in Greece, where adults with developmental disabilities live, work and spend their free time together with their caregivers.
All our residents are Greek, and for most of them, Estia becomes their home for the rest of their lives. Our staff and volunteers are attracted from all corners of Greece and the world and are united by their wish to grow and contribute to this truly diverse community. Regular work in our workshops and our gardens, a rich cultural and social life and the building of family-like warmth, all contribute to the development and well–being of each member and the entire community.

💼 What the programme involves
The theme for the group is to construct a chicken house. Additionally there would be some outdoor constructions and maintenance of wooden surfaces. SCI volunteers might be joined by some of the long term volunteers in the Estia Agios Nikolaos.
We will work 5-6 hours per day and the weekends are free.
The volunteers will organise themselves in their free time.
🏠 Accommodation on site
There will be a big hall with mattresses for accommodation. You need to bring a sleeping bag. You also need to bring sheets and towels. There are toilets and showers.
The volunteers will be shared in the three houses to have breakfast, lunch and dinner.
📍 About the location
The Estia Agios Nikolaos is located in Galaxidi, Greece. It is by the sea (3-4 Km), so volunteers will be able to refresh themselves during their free time. Galaxidi is 30 km from Delphi, the famous ancient archeological site.
