Volunteering and internship
The Greek Council for Refugees is an Association founded in 1989 with the purpose of supporting refugees and asylum seekers in Greece. The primary objective of the GCR is to inform, support, and empower asylum seekers and refugees to claim their rights. Today, the activities of the GCR have expanded, aiming to protect not only refugees but also all those entitled to other forms of international protection. Among them are vulnerable groups, such as unaccompanied minors and victims of trafficking, to whom the GCR gives special attention.
The Greek Council for Refugees has a long-standing tradition and relies heavily on volunteerism for many of its activities. Professionals, students, and private individuals contribute selflessly, offering their valuable time, enthusiasm, and support to our work. They are an integral part of the Organization, as their contribution is crucial in the effort to protect asylum seekers and refugees and to integrate them into Greek society.
Our volunteers provide significant services to refugees through their participation in all the activities of the GCR, such as:
In the activities of the Legal and Social Services
In teaching the Greek language to refugees
In developing the professional skills of refugees
In facilitating their children's access to the educational system
In psychosocial and recreational activities for refugee children and adolescents
In understanding Greek culture
In the support services of the organization
