Member Care

Description

The projects of Eurorelief are primarily led and operated by volunteers.  International volunteers come from around the world to volunteer with Eurorelief, bringing hands-on-hope to people in difficult circumstances.  These volunteers are supported by Member Care, who support volunteers spiritually, emotionally and socially, providing care during their time on the island.  

Member Care team members meet regularly with Eurorelief volunteers, supporting them and praying with them.  They also support in practical ways such as airport pickups, leading team worship nights, and creating opportunities for volunteers to build community and grow spiritually.  

Member care team members report to the Personnel Director.

Requirements

  • Availability at least one year

  • Spiritually and emotionally mature, stable, and flexible  

  • Strong relationship and communication skills

  • Willingness to be available odd hours to accommodate and support volunteers outside of camp

  • Leadership skills and experience

  • Identification with the Christian values of Eurorelief

  • Ideally the ability to drive manual transmission vehicles

Responsibilities

  • Support volunteers one-on-one through check-ins, providing pastoral and relational care, including debriefing with them when their term is ending

Eurorelief was founded in 2005 and deployed to Kalamata, Greece in response to deadly earthquakes. Eurorelief later took up work on the island of Lesvos in 2015 as one of the NGOs serving within Moria Hotspot. We continue to fulfill key roles in Mavrovouni Registration and Identification Center (RIC), the new temporary camp on the island of Lesvos. In collaboration with camp management and other actors on the island, we provide basic non-food items, oversee shelter allocation, are involved in maintenance and building projects as well as education and recreational activities. Since summer 2021, we are also present in RIC Zervou on the island of Samos. For more info, go to  Our Work.
