Kalamos and Kastos Field volunteer program

Goal:

The goal of our field volunteer program is to contribute to sustainable development in the area, and is part of the kalamos and Kastos sustainable development program.An important goal of this, is to help educate and inspire people from around the world with respect to sustainability and nature conservation. It is based in the Kalamos Island biological field station. Volunteers work on a pre-agreed plan with us based on the structure of our program.

How it works:

There are two ways you can participate in our work. The first is by participating in one of our pre-arrange activities for the field season. The second is to organize an activity for each volunteer individually in one of our thematic areas of work . We work out a pre-agreed plan on an individual volunteer basis which can include a mixture of activities both pre-arranged and an individual basis one in one of our thematic areas .

Participants in our program can gain valuable experience in being self sufficient by means of organic agriculture and living in a rural area and it is part of our training for those that participate in this component. Valuable experience in monitoring marine and terrestrial environments can also be gained as well as valuable experience in working in scientific research including designing a research project or monitoring scheme.

We are inside the village so we are essentially a part of the community and the volunteer coordinator is a native to Kalamos allong with many of our organization members and local volunteers, so you will get experience with living and working with local people
