ESC Volunteer Testimonials
Social Hackers Academy allows me to be in a constant learning process. I feel I am working in a remarkable team that makes me improve professionally and personally.
I am very excited to participate in European and national projects and raise funds for the migrant community and other vulnerable groups. It feels great to join a team whose work improves the future of so many people!
After 5 months of working in the Social Hackers team, I can say that this experience has taught me so much already. Social Hackers Academy brings fresh and innovative solutions to the migration crisis that Greece is currently experiencing. I am very glad to be able to be part of this community and to contribute to the students’ growth and development. It is always such a joy to learn that a student has just been offered his/her dream job or that another one has been accepted into university to further his/her education.
