Youth 4 Global Goals is an AIESEC initiative that aims to mobilize young people to contribute to achieving the SDGs. It educates them about the SDGs and provides practical opportunities for volunteering to unleash their potential to be active global citizens. In Greece, AIESEC aims to raise awareness of the SDGs through the Youth Speak initiative and by creating multicultural opportunities that directly contribute to the SDGs through the Global Volunteer programme.
Paragraph 3, page 99
There were 422 non-profit organisations active beyond the neighborhood level in 2015. In fact, since 2010 and the outbreak of the crisis, a drastic increase of citizen involvement in volunteering and social solidarity activities has been noted, along with an expansion of the social welfare role played by civil society organisations and a more competitive funding environment (crowdsourcing and other forms of fundraising to make up for the lack of resources).
