Our mission

Mobilize young people to accelerate localized climate action through the civic service model

Our vision

A generation of active climate citizens working together for a sustainable and resilient Greece

Our values

  • Action: that change starts with rolling our sleeves up and doing the work, and every person has a role to play
  • Collaboration: that only together, can we move forward
  • Service: that we pay tribute to our country and planet, and work to make it better
  • Resilience: that we face challenges head on
  • Optimism: that we do not lose hope, and trust in positive change
  • Commitment: that we show up for ourselves and others 
  • Equity: that every single person deserves the opportunity, and has the right, to act

Why?

Sustainable Development.

Scientists and global leaders agree, we are running out of time to combat climate change. Although Greece has finite resources in this fight, it is an absolute priority to do what we can to create a world that is prosperous for future generations of Greeks.

How?

Civic Engagement.

Considering the greater good, members will be working together to find community-based solutions while developing new skills to build stronger and more resilient communities.

By igniting this sense of purpose, of giving oneself to something bigger for the greater good, for future generations, we have a chance at achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

What?

Service Year.

The Ecogenia model creates a sustainable cycle that is good for the workforce, good for development, good for Greece, and good for the planet.

After completing their training, Ecogenia members will be trained to be solutions-oriented, community-minded, motivated and inspired citizens for the long-term.
