We offer educational opportunities for the children under our care in order to facilitate their inclusion into Greek society. All of our kids obtain immediate access to education and attend school.

The HOME Project has developed meaningful partnerships with two of the most respected educational institutions in the country: The American Community Schools (ACS Athens) and the Athens College - Hellenic American Educational Foundation (HAEF).

Furthermore, 30 children under our care were granted full time scholarships at ACS Athens, kindly offered by The Shapiro Foundation, an institution focused on improving the lives of the world’s most vulnerable populations and a close partner and valuable supporter of Τhe HOME Project.

Youth to Youth at ACS Athens

Since 2016, The HOME Project and ACS Athens have developed a partnership, the “Youth to Youth” Educational and Social Inclusion Program. This program fosters meaningful educational experiences addressing the educational and social needs of unaccompanied minors while promoting social inclusion on the basis of a student-to-student learning model. Through their Greek and English language, computers, music and art classes as well as through athletic activities, the children of The HOME Project bond with the ACS Athens students, together creating a uniquely caring learning community at the school campus

Scholarships at Athens College- HAEF

Three children under our care were admitted to the 1st Gymnasium grade (7th grade) for the academic year 2021-2022  with full-time scholarships following their success in the College’s entrance exams.

School Project at Athens College- HAEF

The “School Project” in partnership with Athens College - HAEF, is an educational program customized to the needs of our children which was launched in 2018. Athens College students become tutors for the children of our shelters, and through shared Greek and English language, math, theatrical and art classes as well as sports activities, the kids learn, express themselves creatively, and build relationships that enhance empathy and social inclusion

Moraitis school

In collaboration with Moraitis school, a sports program has been launched involving weekly basketball practice at the school's premises for the youngest children under our care. Moraitis School is mobilizing the active participation of the school community to support one of our shelters.

Technical and vocational training

We seek to provide all necessary tools and opportunities that will enable children who reach adulthood to become responsible, productive, and independent citizens of society via vocational and technical training scholarships. We aim to help them find a job and enable them to create a future for themselves.

So far, we have achieved 50 job placements, in the hospitality industry, in food services, clothing, and beauty sectors. 25 have been hired as caregivers and interpreters at The HOME Project shelters.

We lay Athens open to all and at no time evict or keep the stranger away
