About the project

Every kid deserves a place to play, and in a refugee camp in Greece, those spaces are few and far between. So, we teamed up with our non-profit partner Movement On The Ground to create a safe space where kids can be kids.

Working alongside residents from the camp, guys who were tradesmen in their home countries before being forced to flee their homes, this playground was a collaborative 10-day project that had curious kids watching from day we started digging the foundations.

How much notice do you need before crew can join a project?

Typically, we need to know at least a month in advance. But if you have a last-minute project,  let us know and we’ll see what can be arranged.

Are crew accustomed to working in diverse or challenging environments?

Yes, crew are experienced in high-pressure environments onboard, where they are trained to prioritize safety and think critically—focusing on solutions rather than problems.

What level of support or supervision will the crew members require?

Set and forget. Once crew have an understanding of a project, you’ll be able to leave them to get work done.

What are the crew’s motivations for volunteering?

That will depend on the individual, but as part of our screening process, we ensure crew members are committed to volunteering for the right reasons.
