Volunteering Opportunities Across Cyprus

Many of our CIWOT members have expressed a heartfelt desire to give back through volunteering — but finding where to start isn’t always easy.



That’s why our Community Service Coordinator, Tatjana Orlova, took immediate action as soon as she stepped into her role in June 2025.



After contacting various organizations across the island, she compiled a list of places that currently welcome volunteers.

Whether your passion lies in supporting people, animals, or meaningful community causes, there’s a place waiting for your helping hands.
