Your time and skills can make a meaningful difference in rebuilding and preserving Greece’s cultural and natural heritage.

Where do I even begin? From the very start the programme coordinator at IVHQ ensured all my questions were answered, and everything was in perfect order for my volunteering. Once at my placement, the local team was incredibly helpful and supportive, ensuring I had everything I needed- from helping me understand how to commute to my work place, where the supermarket was, and even more technical aspects like where to buy SIM cards…. Overall, my two experiences at IVHQ allowed me to grow an asset of skills, and with their wide array of countries to volunteer at, I’m sure everyone will find what they desire! I definitely would recommend them and I’m already planning my next volunteering too!
