Volunteers are integral to the operation of Ithaca. They are mainly involved in the daily operation in the field in the reception and service of the beneficiaries and in other positions that match their interests (photography, social media, graphic design, administrative support, web development).
From the beginning of our operation – when our activity was done entirely by volunteers – until now, volunteers offer social work with undiminished interest, while their contribution and help are valuable for the smooth functioning of the organization.
Through their action, our volunteers actively participate in civil society through their direct support to the homeless population. By offering their services to those who need them, they receive moral satisfaction and become more aware of social issues, but also develop their skills and gain valuable knowledge and experience.
By supporting us, you offer essential help to our homeless and needy fellow citizens, help our fellow human beings to gain new opportunities, gain valuable knowledge and experience, contribute according to your interests and schedule, and meet new people with common interests.
