PROJECT PROMOTER OR PARTNER WEBSITE

Ethelon is a non-profit organization which was established in order to emphasize and promote the notion of volunteering within the Greek society. Ethelon is the result of the merger between two non-profit organizations, Glovo and Volunteer4Greece, which were both founded in 2012 and remained active in parallel for four years. In May 2016, the two organizations merged and created a new one, aspiring to become the point of reference for volunteering in Greece.

Through a wide range of activities, events and initiatives, Ethelon finds, activates and brings together individuals, independent teams, institutions and companies with non-profit organizations, aiming to help them develop synergies, based on volunteering. The vision of the organizationn is to establish volunteering as a way of life and a dominant value within the Greek society, making the best out of the skills of its members and creating a social net whose basic components will be its very members.

Ethelon aspires to become the point of reference in terms of volunteering in Greece, thus providing every age and social group with the possibility to have access in volunteering events and activities, creating a suitable cooperation framework between NGOs and companies, so that society at large can benefit from it.
