WANTED: INTERN
Interns play a vital role at The Pomegranate Project, bringing fresh energy, compassion, and practical support to the Pomegranate Project.
If you're looking to gain hands-on experience in the humanitarian field, aren’t afraid of spreadsheets, fighting our printer, rolling up your sleeves or cleaning toilets and snotty noses, and want to be part of a passionate, impact-driven team, we’d love to hear from you.
🌈 Inclusivity & Belonging:
We love working with people from diverse backgrounds and we warmly welcome applications from cis and trans women, intersex women, and non-binary people who feel comfortable in a space centered on the experiences of women.
Location: Athens
Hours: 30-40 hours per week
Duration: Minimum of 3 months. Begins 15 September 2025
Preference will be given to candidates who are completing the internship as part of their university studies and can receive academic credit.
Duties:
You will support a variety of tasks across our Day Centre and Shelter, contributing to the well-being, empowerment, and daily functioning of the spaces. Your responsibilities will include:
Coordinating, creating, implementing, monitoring and reporting of our weekly psychosocial support activities for our participants: Think workshops, creativity, connection.
Assisting in our Free Shop two days per week
Supporting the Social Worker with accompaniments to services (e.g. medical or legal appointments), follow-up with residents, and shelter maintenance. Bring patience and good walking shoes.
Provide childcare during classes and appointments (prepare to be outwitted by toddlers)
Create dazzling social media content (Canva queens/kings/theys, this is your time)
Tackle anything else our Field Team throws your way (within reason—we promise).
You will be a great fit if you:
are highly organised, proactive, and can juggle five tasks while remembering where the extra toilet paper is;
a proactive human with the soul of a social justice warrior and the calendar of a project manager;
have excellent tech skills (Google Suite, Canva, Video Editing and maybe some TikTok magic);
can work across cultures and with people from all walks of life — and still keep your cool;
know your way around community-based work,
speak English or Greek (B2+). French or Arabic? Huge bonus.
have knowledge of the forced migration context in Greece? Yes please.
Are studying Social Sciences, Psychology, or a related field.
Ready to jump in? Great — we’d love to hear from you! Please send your CV and motivation letter (in English) via our General Volunteer Form. (Yes, we really do read them — and yes, you’ll need both to get a reply.)
Because safety is non-negotiable for us, in keeping the Pomegranate Project a safe and respectful space, our recruitment process includes asking for two references and a recent criminal background check.
We also reserve the right to close applications early if we find the right person — so don’t wait too long.
Deadline: 30 June 2025
