Educate them through interactive talks and workshops
“Light the fire” through volunteer service actions that will take place
around Athens
8. why join
Because Sparks aims to connect volunteers to NGOs & Foundations that re-
ally make a difference. By participating in our event, you will get the chance
to give our volunteers an insight to your work and actions, raise awareness for
your cause and allow us to offer your organisation as much aid as we can.
We’re addressing organizations which we know are working to create a bet-
ter world, which we could support. We all have something that we can con-
tribute, so we volunteer for life and become the change we want to see in
the world.
