People are diverse, and so are their reasons for volunteering
Project Armonia welcomes all who subscribe to our core values and can volunteer one day per week for our kitchen team
Solidarity
Working with, not for, our community to ensure that the basic human rights of all are met and protected.
Inclusion
We are committed to creating opportunities for displaced people to share and strengthen their skills. Through this, we aim to facilitate self-sufficiency and enable people to actively participate in their new society.
Community
In Greek, Armonia means ‘harmony’. One of the guiding principles of our work is not just to serve food, but to use it to build a welcoming environment where people feel engaged, supported and have a sense of belonging.
We are a non-profit organisation acting in solidarity with displaced people to promote equal access to nutrition and education. Our project in Athens aims to address the most urgent basic needs of displaced people whilst simultaneously creating opportunities for social inclusion and active participation in the community.
Volunteers are the heart and soul of our project, without them we cannot realize our aims.
We need volunteers for our kitchen team!
As part of the kitchen team, you will be working to prepare and cook tasty, nutritious and healthy meals for distribution to displaced and homeless people in Athens. You will be provided with on-the-job training from our professional chef, this includes food preparation, nutrition values and food safety and hygiene standards. So, do not worry if you have no prior experience!
If you wish, in addition to the training and experience you will gain as part of the kitchen team, you could also receive hands-on experience in office work in an area of your choice (subject to availability).
You will have all the support you need, and a warm, friendly and dedicated team to be a part of. We ask that our volunteers fulfill the following requirements:
- They live in Athens, or they are planning to come to Athens, and are able to cover their own expenses
- Minimum 22 years of age
- Minimum 3 months commitment
- Availability to work 1 shift per week (8h/w) in the kitchen
- Ability to communicate in English
If you do not meet all the requirements, please still apply, and we can discuss how we could work together.
