PARTNER ORGANISATIONS
- CVG – Conservation Volunteers Greece http://www.cvgpeep.gr/
CVG is a non-profit NGO that promotes intercultural exchange and conservation work between young people from all over the world.
CVG has been suffering some financial difficulties for the past couple of years, due to the decrease in financial support to volunteer projects from local authorities, and the fact that they do not send many volunteers abroad. As a result they have had to introduce an extra fee (which varies according to the project) to cover the project and administration costs.
- CIA – Citizens in Action
Citizens in Action is a non-profit, non-governmental, youth organisation based in Athens. It was established in 2002 with the aims of promoting active citizenship to young people and contributing to community and local development through the participation of local and foreign volunteers in projects of benefit to all, with an emphasis on rural areas.
