Samos Volunteers (SV) is an independent group of volunteers providing non-formal education, psychosocial support and NFI distribution to people living in the CCAC on Samos.

The Communications Officer is mainly responsible for our social media, supporting the Communications, Advocacy, and Fundraising Coordinator. The officer contributes to our project’s long-term sustainability through our social media, website, newsletter, and general donor relationship management. The role is especially rewarding because it involves taking on tasks on your own initiative. Next to these core tasks, it is possible to get involved in advocacy and/or fundraising. On a part-time basis (around 30%), the officer also supports our team with the different services we provide, to develop a clear understanding of our work, values, and daily operations.
