In 2026, the Greek America Corps Summer Volunteer Program celebrates an important milestone: ten years of service, volunteerism, friendship, and impact throughout Greece.
Over the past decade, hundreds of volunteers from across the United States and Canada have traveled to Greece to serve alongside local nonprofit organizations, support vulnerable communities, and build meaningful connections rooted in the values of philanthropy, service, and community.
To mark this special anniversary, we are inviting members of our Greek America Foundation family to join us on the island of Chios for a weekend of celebration, reflection, and connection.
Whether you are a past volunteer, donor, supporter, participant, friend of the Foundation, or someone whose life has been touched by our work, we would be honored to have you with us.
Community Day activities will take place on Friday, July 31 and Saturday, August 1, 2026, bringing together current volunteers, alumni, local partners, supporters, and friends from around the world.
The weekend will feature opportunities to connect with fellow members of our community, meet the organizations and partners who have worked alongside us throughout the years, participate in service-oriented activities, and celebrate the collective impact we have made together.
Families are welcome, and we are planning special opportunities for younger participants and teens to engage in meaningful service and community-building experiences.
Guests are encouraged to arrive on Thursday, July 30, as festivities and informal gatherings will begin that evening.
Additional details, activities, and registration information will be announced in the coming weeks. For now, we invite you to save the date and begin making plans to join us as we celebrate ten years of Greek America Corps and the extraordinary community that has made this journey possible.
