We are looking for team players who are also able to work independently. We need people who are **patient**, **professional**, and **prepared to respect the pre-existing systems and code of conduct** we’ve developed over the years to make our services as fair and smooth-running as possible, but who can also bring new, fresh ideas, energy, and enthusiasm.

Our timetable and each volunteer’s role vary depending on day-to-day needs. For this reason, an open mind and a flexible approach to work are essential.

You may assist with:

- Reception shifts;
- Facilitating recreational activities,
- Cleaning and maintenance of our spaces,
- Teaching classes,
- Translation (if applicable),
- Distributing clothing in our warehouse and/or free shop,
- Sorting and stocking our Non-Food Item donations,
- Other tasks depend on our projects and needs.

We’re also looking for people who can bring experience with women’s & kids’ activities, IT, informal education, fundraising, graphic design, sewing, or any skills you have to enrich our projects.

## **Requirements**

- **Six weeks minimum commitment, but preferably longer,** due to the nature of our work
- Can communicate in English

- A working phone with WhatsApp
- Self-funded: this includes organising and covering the costs of your own transport, living costs, and activities outside of our projects. (For more information, see our [Travel & Accommodation](https://jordanlee-pirrie-nkpt.squarespace.com/volunteering-travel-accomodation) page)
- We accept researchers or interns on an ad hoc basis; please be very clear in your application what it is you intend to do, and be aware that Samos Volunteers can only offer limited added supervision and paperwork
- **We consider applications from people who already have a valid visa to come to Europe as, unfortunately, we cannot support the costs and procedures.**
