Description
Welcome to Our Creative Space in Apoikia, Andros!
Hi! We’re Minky and Nikos, the founders of a small NGO based in the peaceful village of Apoikia, on the island of Andros. We live here with our 2 year old son Ivan, and our dog Zulu.
Our nonprofit is dedicated to supporting youth culture, alternative sports, and the arts. We’re creating a unique community space that brings together creativity, movement, and connection.
Our facilities include:
- Accommodation for visitors and volunteers
- Riding facilities for BMX, rollerblading, and skateboarding
- A small café that serves as a chill space for visitors and locals
-Art exhibition areas for artists who want to showcase their work
- Plenty of outdoor space we’re continuing to develop and care for
We're surrounded by beautiful nature : waterfalls, hiking trails, and beaches are all nearby, and the main town (Chora) is just 10 minutes away by car.
We’re looking for motivated volunteers to help with a variety of tasks around the property, including:
- Creating and maintaining food gardens
- Landscaping and planting flowers
- Maintenance, cleaning, and cooking
- Small scale construction and improvement projects
If you're someone who enjoys hands on work, loves being outdoors, and wants to be part of a meaningful, creative project in a truly special setting, we’d love to hear from you!

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
I'm half French and half English, my husband Nikos is Greek. We speak English, French, and Greek, so there’s plenty of chances to learn a few new words while you’re staying with us.
When it comes to social activities, we keep it laid-back. If you’re into BMX, Nikos is always up for a ride, and you can join him for a session.
If you’re into art, you're welcome to leave your mark on the place. Whether it’s painting murals, making mosaics, or getting creative with driftwood-anything goes! We’re always up for some artistic collaboration and love adding new pieces to the space.
We’re excited to share what we have with you but we also want to learn from you! Share your stories, ideas, or even teach us something new. It’s all about connecting, creating, and having fun together.
An important point : Our dog is part of the family too and is a complete goofball. If you mind having him potentially jump up and beg for pets all the time, perhaps reconsider your application...! 🐶

Volunteer Tasks at Our Place
We're looking for friendly, hands-on volunteers to join us and help bring a variety of creative and practical projects to life. There’s always something that needs doing around here, and your contribution will be so appreciated! Some of the tasks you might get involved in include:
~Helping with the setup of a vegetable garden, a bit of landscaping, creating flowerbeds, weeding, and collecting rocks to outline garden areas
~Sweeping and tidying around the property, including the riding facilities
~Light DIY tasks, painting, and general maintenance projects
~Getting the coffee shop ready for the season: cleaning, setting up the kitchen, creating menu boards, painting chairs, arranging tables and pergolas
~Clearing and organizing storage spaces to make room for future art exhibitions, moving furniture, and creating new usable areas
We provide the food and you’ll have your own private kitchen to cook for yourself, but when timing and energy align, we love to share meals together too.
We’ll find a rhythm that works for everyone! Kindly note that you will most probably be sharing your kitchen with other volunteers. Another important note is that we try to push on a mainly vegetarian diet.
We welcome your creativity, initiative, and a positive attitude always! A big plus is someone with a good sense of humor!
Kindly note that we tend to overlook Chat Gpt generated profiles. Please just be yourself when you write to us so we can read between the lines.
Due to a past experience that left us in an awkward position as hosts, if we feel that you do not correspond to the profile you have written about yourself and that you are not really interested in doing the jobs, we will ask you to leave.
However if you're into gardening, DIY projects, organizing, or just happy to lend a hand wherever it's needed, there’s a spot for you here 🙂
FOR SEPTEMBER WE WOULD APPRECIATE SOMEONE WHO CAN COOK DINNER ON WEEK DAYS FOR UP TO 6 PEOPLE

Hébergement
We provide comfortable mixed backpacker accommodation in a room with two bunk beds (four beds total), featuring a dining area, kitchen, bathroom, and a balcony offering stunning sea and valley views. You'll be sharing this space with other volunteers, it will be up to you how you organize yourselves with the cooking in your kitchen upstairs.
Autres infos...
Kindly note that our village is a little remote in the sense that there isn't local transport aside from taxis or hitchhiking. We are a 10 minute drive from the maintown where the shops are, also 10 minutes drive from the closest beaches.
If you don't have rent a vehicle, we offer lifts whenever we go to town which is quite often.
There is a small Kafeneio in our village that offers food,generally open in high season.
