    About the program

    Join the Content Creation Program in Athens, Greece! Many non-profit organizations in Greece rely on digital tools and marketing materials to promote their missions, attract volunteers, and raise funds. However, these organizations often struggle to financially support skilled professionals in these roles.

    This program seeks volunteers with expertise in areas such as website development, graphic design, videography, photography, and communication to fill this gap. As a volunteer, you will collaborate with our local team and the staff of these organizations to understand their specific needs and agree on a set of deliverables for your project period.

    Your work will be vital in helping these NGOs reach a wider audience, communicate their impact, and strengthen their presence online and in the community.

    • Videography and Photography: Produce compelling promotional videos and document NGO activities for use in social media and marketing campaigns.

    Daily Tasks:

    • Develop and Enhance Websites: Work on improving NGO websites by adding engaging content, optimizing user experience, and ensuring the sites effectively communicate the organizations’ missions.

    • Design Marketing Materials: Create graphics for various promotional needs, from social media posts to printed materials, ensuring a consistent and attractive visual identity for the NGOs.

    • Produce Video and Photo Content: Capture and edit videos and photos that tell the story of the NGOs, showcasing their work and impact in the community.

    • Write Compelling Copy: Develop written content that engages and informs, crafting stories that highlight the importance of the NGOs' work.

    • Collaborate with Local Teams: Work closely with local staff to understand the specific needs of each organization and deliver content that meets those needs.

    Why Join?

    • Make an Impact: Use your digital and creative skills to support NGOs in Athens, helping them reach more people and strengthen their missions.

    2024 at Youth Supporter

    I recommend this experience to absolutely anyone, it was the best of my life. The first week my placement was in a Skatepark in Cascais, so I had to catch a train and then a bus. Although it was good and the commute was fine, I didn't feel comfortable at the beggining so I asked to switch to a ...

My first day was an introduction to the area, possibility to get help with the tickets for the public transports and a guided tour of Lisbon. They also have communication chats for you to contact ...

    2024 at Animal Care and Protection

    Honestly, I was surprised, when on the website it shows photos of so many dogs, animals, it turned out I was working at a cat sanctuary. It's not that I was disappointed by the cats, it was just a shock, and also, at points of the sanctuary I feel like I wasn't apart of it massively, there wasn't ...

    Here’s a more formal and assertive version of your feedback: After months of requesting a detailed schedule for our diving experience, we only received the information after all payments had already been made. To pay €1,500 for a week, only to end up with just four dives, is completely ...

    2024 at English Teaching to the community

    Unfortunately, my experience was not the best one. The lodging was too far from the project; we had to travel almost two hours to get there. The classes were not organized. After one week, and following my request, I was assigned to a school which was fine but still one hour bus and metro to get ...

    2024 at Impact Surf Camp

    I would not recommend the Impact Surf Camp program. I thought it was way too expensive for what you get in return. When I was there, early November 2024, I was the only one who had booked the Surf Camp program. At first it was cancelled the day before it started because of the weather, even though ...
