Become Our Volunteer

In the Educational Volunteers Foundation we realize all of our activities with the support of our volunteers. Our volunteers, who believe that the children of our country have the right to realize their hopes, deliver their efforts, time, knowledge and experience without any discrimination, to our children. With a social responsibility perspective, our volunteers provide the greatest contribution in creating enlightened people of the future.

Our volunteers not only support our children's education; they also help to increase social sensibility and appreciation for the notion of civil society institutions.

Our educational activities are implemented solely by volunteer support and contribute a lot to our volunteers as well as our children. While participating in projects that support their community, our volunteers also contribute to themselves in terms of their occupational development.
