At Kids Love Greece, with over 10 years of experience in designing experiential family travel, we know that what makes a journey truly meaningful is the authentic connection travelers build with both the destination and its people. For us, travel isn’t just about seeing new places. It’s about creating bridges, nurturing understanding, and sharing moments that leave a lasting impression.
Our volunteerism programs reflect our business ethics and the founders’ personal commitment to a “giving back” philosophy, as well as our trust in our local partners who organize and facilitate volunteering opportunities across Greece.
These programs are carefully designed to help families and youth connect with the real Greece, beyond the tourist path, in ways that are genuine and impactful.
For travelers, volunteering cultivates empathy, gratitude, and a richer understanding of different cultures. For local communities, the encouragement and solidarity from visitors can be deeply meaningful. By traveling with purpose, our guests join a bigger story; one of connection, contribution, and lasting change that continues long after the trip ends.
We believe travel has the power to transform not only the traveler but also the communities they visit. That’s why we partner with inspiring local organizations, like The Love Van, to offer hands-on volunteer experiences designed for families, students, and groups of all ages. Whether you’re exploring Athens, Crete, or another corner of Greece, we work with you to weave meaningful volunteering into your trip, ensuring it’s age-appropriate, culturally respectful, and truly rewarding for everyone involved.
