We develop new programs together with our community partners and use the 2030 agenda as a guidepost. Our goal is that our programming helps to accelerate climate action and sustainable development for the country and gives young people a practical opportunity to be a part of the solution.

Hybrid Disaster Management and Ecotourism Pilot Project

In the Spring of 2024, the Ecogenia team plans to launch a pilot project that combines Ecotourism program impact (trail maintenance and revitalization work) with Disaster Management (wildfire fuel reduction, fire breaks, community engagement, etc.). Litochoro will serve as the homebase for the project and will include work in the foothills of Mt. Olympus National Park. This pilot project is part of a strategic partnership with the U.S. Embassy and in collaboration with the California Conservation Corps (CCC). The goal of the exchange is to incorporate best practices from the CCC on how to utilize a youth corps program to accelerate this critically important work and to understand how to best scale across the country. The CCC plans to send a team of young people from their program to Greece to work alongside an Ecogenia cohort team, for a training exchange. Stay tuned for more information.  We are currently looking for additional supporters and program partners for this project. If you would like to learn more about how to support, be involved, or have any questions or feedback, we encourage you to contact our team. We look forward to hearing from you.

Impact Areas

In addition to our current program offerings, we hope to expand to the following impact areas:
  • Cohort Alumni Network
  • Disaster and Wildfire Preparedness, Prevention and Relief
  • Conservation
  • Circular Economy and Waste Reduction
  • Virtual Climate Corps
Pilots allow us to test and improve new programs based on results and feedback from our partners and cohort members. Innovation drives us. If you are interested in partnering with us for a pilot program, please fill out our contact form.

Ecogenia is the first NGO in Greece that promotes sustainability through civic engagement, training and employment opportunities for young people. Through a service year model, Ecogenia connects Greek youth with organisations dedicated to creating sustainable solutions to environmental and societal challenges.
