Sobre o programa

Join the Special Needs Support Program in Greece! This program is dedicated to providing individualized care for people living with mental or physical disabilities, whose access to the outside world has been limited. The program takes place in a serene environment surrounded by nature, just a breath away from the beach, where the activity center is located alongside their school, kitchen, laundry, and playground.

As a volunteer, you will be responsible for helping children and young adults spend their time in a creative and enjoyable way. You’ll work closely with a team of local staff and volunteers to organize and run a variety of activities, both outdoors and indoors. These activities include swimming at the beach, playing sports, organizing cinema and bowling visits, as well as conducting arts and crafts workshops, cooking sessions, and supporting social integration efforts.

No previous experience or training is required to participate in this project. However, you will need patience, enthusiasm, and a willingness to build trust with the individuals you support. Your role will be crucial in helping them find their own ways of communication, often overcoming language barriers.

What to Expect:

  • Creative Activity Support: Help children and young adults engage in creative and enjoyable activities that enrich their lives.

  • Outdoor Activities: Organize and participate in activities such as swimming at the beach, sports, and outings like cinema and bowling visits.

  • Collaborative Environment: Work alongside local staff and volunteers, contributing to a supportive and inclusive environment.

Daily Tasks:

  • Support Outdoor Activities: Help organize and participate in beach outings, sports, and visits to the cinema and bowling alleys.

  • Lead Indoor Workshops: Conduct arts and crafts, cooking sessions, and other indoor activities that foster creativity and engagement.

  • Promote Social Integration: Assist in activities that encourage social interaction and integration into the broader community.

  • Engage with Participants: Spend quality time with children and young adults, building trust and finding effective ways to communicate.

Why Join?

  • Make an Impact: Improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities by providing access to enriching activities and social opportunities.

  • Gain Experience: Develop skills in special needs care, activity planning, and social integration.

  • Cultural Immersion: Experience the natural beauty and culture of Crete while making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

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 ...

2024 at Environmental Scuba Diving

The people working there were really supportive and genuinely wish for you to have a good experience. 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 ...

2024 at Environmental Scuba Diving

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 ...
