Cyclades Green Volunteers
2023 update
The Green Volunteers in the Cyclades program is going digital this year. We are rolling out a buffet of interesting insights and important actions (small and big) that everyone can take while in the Cyclades. Drawing from our network of experts and organisations protecting the natural beauty of the Cyclades, we invite a wide audience to be inspired and put hands, hearts and minds towards keeping the Cyclades flourishing while travelling or staying on the islands.
With a series of webinars and online content we’re aiming to enable interested active citizens and visitors of the Cycladic islands to support local environmental efforts and our network of organisations leading these efforts.
Watch our webinars to meet the people working to protect different aspects of Cycladic nature, and learn about the small but valuable actions you can take for harmonious ecological living in the cyclades. From spotting dolphins to carrying a jar for coffee, we’re making Cycladic travel green and right for flourishing.

2022
Cyclades Green Volunteers is a CPF program that enables environmentally active citizens and young people to engage with local communities about environmental challenges in the Cyclades islands.
Volunteers are invited to participate in environmental work with local champions on the Cycladic islands of Andros, Naxos, and Syros, and at the same time, familiarise themselves with the Cycladic way of life and its unique characteristics.
The Program mainly focuses on the following areas:
- Wildlife protection and conservation
- Sustainable waste management
- Nature conservation and local identity
The Cyclades Green Volunteers is a Cyclades Preservation Fund program supported in 2021 & 2023 by the British Embassy of Athens. Many thanks to our local 2021 partners: the Andros Research Centre, the Koinsep APANO MERIA of Syros, and the Naxos Wildlife Association for their support, and the Citizens in Action for their training workshops.
This CPF program has now been completed.
