À propos du programme

After facing long years of economic crisis in tandem to the newer refugee crisis and the Covid19 pandemic, Chios Island’s public institutions' infrastructure became poor. These institutions struggle to find the funding and manpower to undertake important development work.
Volunteers use their energy to help improve the facilities of local public institutions such as schools for the local community. Schools provide valuable services in the local community and manage to run on minimal resources.
However there is little money and staff to prepare the necessary decorations, costumes and educational material by themselves.
Classrooms and play areas should aid and encourage learning and this is exactly what “Mobility”, aims to achieve through voluntary programs. With your help, we can further support Chios’s community and you can do your bit to leave a lasting impact!

The projects Targets:
This project’s target is to assist the local public educational institutions in a variety of tasks by assisting in the preparation of the handicrafts, costumes, educational material and decorations for the educational procedure, the school celebrations (national, cultural, religious) and events as well as for the starting and ending of the schoolyear. Volunteers do not need to be qualified or experienced in order to participate to this project, but they need to be creative, active and energetic, interested in physical work and not being afraid to work and get their hands dirty!

Volunteers Activities:
Volunteers participating in this project will work alone or in groups and their tasks will be taking place in an outdoor or indoor environment depending of the activity nature as well as the needs of the local community. Volunteers’ tasks on this project can be different activities in local public educational institutions like creating educational material, also handicrafts for welcoming presents for the children, for decorations for the classrooms and other school areas, paint some decorations, help with rearrangements of classrooms and educational material. This project gives to the volunteers the opportunity to help in offering assistance to the local community.

Please keep in mind that applicants must hold:
  • a valid VISA or European citizenship in order to apply for this program as we are not able to send an invitation for a VISA application.
  • It may be required by some educational institutions to have a vaccination certificate against Covid-19.

Volunteers will be met at the Chios Island National Airport (JKH) by a member of our team and will be taken to the volunteer accommodation. Our staff member will be standing in the arrivals area with a “MOBILITY VOLUNTEERING” sign. Depending on the designated accommodation the ride will usually take less than 30 minutes.
It's important to note that pick up is only provided for flights arriving between 8am and 9pm. If the flight arrives outside of this timeframe, volunteers can wait until a suitable hour for the local team to collect them.
Accommodation is provided from Sunday through to (and including) the Friday night of their final week.

Arriving Overland
If the volunteers are planning to arrive via ferry from elsewhere in Greece, then a pickup in Chios city port can be arranged. It's important to note that pick up in Chios city can only be provided between 8am and 9pm. If the ferry arrives outside of this timeframe, volunteers can wait until a suitable hour for the local team to collect them.
Once they are sure of their travel plans, they will need to contact the Local Pick-Up Coordinator. We will assist them with arranging a suitable time and place to meet in Chios City or provide instructions on how to make their own way to the accommodation.

Please keep in mind that volunteers need to bugdet and arrange on their own their transfer from the accommodation to the Airport at departure.

Logement

Volunteers are hosted in our volunteer accommodations which are dormitory-style and can accommodate up to 10-15 guests each.
Volunteers can expect to share a room with up to 4 other volunteers of the same gender.
The volunteers accommodations are situated within walking distance from Supermarkets, Grocery Stores, pharmacies as well as bakeries, bars and restaurants.
Each accommodation has shared western bathrooms with shower. Wi-Fi is also available for free at the volunteer accommodation.
It is the responsibility of the volunteer to ensure their room is kept tidy during their time on the program. During the hot summer months, please note that only light bedding is provided in the form of a bottom and light top sheet. Towels are not provided so volunteers do need to bring their own towels.
Volunteers are also responsible for cleaning their accommodation, also the dishware, glassware, cutlery and cooking utensils that they use.
Volunteers are responsible for organizing their own meals since the accommodation is in walking distance they can find grocery stores, supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, cafeterias and mini markets. It is also possible to order delivery. For the volunteers to prepare a meal, the accommodation is equipped with basic kitchen utensils and cutlery as well as fridge,  electric plate, microwave oven and kettle.
One important thing to note is that tap water is not potable in Chios Island including at the accommodations, therefore volunteers need to budget for and make their own arrangements to buy bottled water from a nearby store or supermarket of their choice.
Volunteers need to also take into account and budget for their transportation during their program including travelling from and to the placement as well as their transfer from the accommodation to the Airport at departure.
Lastly for security reasons upon arrival at the accommodation all volunteers are obligated to pay a 50$ (or 50€) bond which will be returned upon checkout provided no loss or damage has been incurred to the accommodation or to the property of the Organisation.

We cooperate with local public Nursery Schools, Kindergartens, Primary and Special Education Schools in which our volunteers offer their service and actively help as assistants to the teachers in the educational procedure and realize environmental, cultural and sport activities, as well as with other institutions such as Elderly Nursing Homes, offering essential help to people in poverty, with fewer opportunities and youngsters from a marginalized community or at risk of facing discrimination.
In addition, our Organization is responsible for the realization of various community-based activities for and with our volunteers and local young people of different ages, gender and countries, with different economic, social and cultural backgrounds, whose main target is to assist the local community in a variety of tasks by cleaning and recycling, gaining an environmental awareness, as well as realizing educational activities for the local children, during the after school hours and during the summer time, when the school year is over.
The volunteers’ tasks vary depending on the needs of the cooperating Institutions and the needs of the local community.
