Ecogenia is the 1st climate corps in Greece to mobilize youth in critical climate action.
The organization empowers youth by providing them with skills-based training and paid opportunities to serve their country’s environment, while reinforcing local communities by leveraging human and other resources to build climate resilience on the ground.
Established in 2021, our goal is to become a national youth corps, where thousands of young Greeks are empowered to contribute to climate action and build a resilient Greek society. We want to provide every young person (18-30 years old) the opportunity to participate in a year of service, leading localized change and addressing community needs across the 13 regions of Greece through a paid service term.
Ecogenia’s impact and potential has been globally recognized: in 2022 as the national winner of the European Parliament’s Charlemagne Youth Prize, and in 2023 as the top Winner of Ashoka’s Green Changemakers Challenge in the Europe and Oceania regional category.
