Athens Photo Festival is a non-profit organization, and needs everyone’s support to realize such an ambitious project. In addition to the core volunteers who compose the organizational committee, a large number of volunteers are essential in the effective execution of the Festival’s projects and activities, in a wide range of needs and roles. Volunteering at the Athens Photo Festival is a great way to experience the festival, meet new people, engage in contemporary art, and play a vital role in promoting and celebrating photography.
The Festival uses volunteers year-round, and especially during the Festival, so we seek volunteers with maximum availability during May-July. We recognize your time is precious, and can be flexible in consideration of people’s busy schedules.
