Hellenic Youth Participation is recruiting a visibility and social media intern in Athens, starting 17 January 2027, with applications closing on 31 October 2026. At Youth Works Hub, we separated this role from the organisation's other openings so you can see what makes it distinct: this one is built around channels and campaigns rather than project administration.
If your portfolio is stronger in content than in paperwork, this is the version of the placement to apply for.
The Channels You Would Run
The listing names the platforms rather than leaving them vague.
📸 Instagram.
💼 LinkedIn.
🎵 TikTok.
👥 Facebook.
Running four channels for an NGO that delivers workshops, seminars and international mobilities means the content calendar follows the activity calendar, not the other way round.
The Tasks
✍️ Creating engaging content for the organisation's social media.
🎯 Creating targeted social media campaigns, which is a step beyond posting.
🎥 Taking care of the audiovisual material from local events, meaning you are the one filming and photographing.
🗂️ Updating organising tools.
🤝 Assisting team and project meetings.
🧩 Supporting other organisational tasks according to current needs.
What the Placement Builds
🗣️ Communication, teamwork, time management, agility and attention to detail.
🇪🇺 Experience of working with European programmes, which is the part of the CV that matters for the next role in the sector.
📈 A body of published work across four platforms, produced for real events rather than for a class assignment.
Who the Organisation Is
Hellenic Youth Participation promotes human rights, intercultural dialogue and social inclusion through non formal education and experiential learning, connecting citizens locally, nationally and internationally.
🇪🇺 It coordinates and participates in EU funded projects, including Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps.
🏫 It runs local workshops, seminars and activities for teenagers, young adults and adults.
🤝 It supports local volunteering teams.
📊 The organisation's own site states ten years of experience and more than 40,000 programmes delivered, which are its own published claims.
Requirements
💶 Being eligible for an internship grant through Erasmus placement, your university or another source.
🗣️ The ability to work in English, spoken and written, in an independent working style.
🌱 Willingness to learn, flexibility and readiness to take initiative and responsibility.
🤝 Comfort with both teamwork and individual work.
Extras That Help
🎨 Experience with Canva and social media.
🙌 Experience in youth organisations, volunteering and event organising.
📑 Knowledge of Erasmus+ KA1, KA2 and KA3, or of the European Solidarity Corps.
Hours and Dates
🕘 The commitment is 38 hours a week, which is slightly lighter than the organisation's other placements.
⏳ The duration is six months, with a stated preference for four months or more.
📅 The start date is 17 January 2027, and dates are flexible.
💸 The placement is unpaid, with learning courses, training assistance and an internet connection listed as what you receive.
According to Youth Works Hub's review of the organisation's three current openings, the hours differ between them, so check the number on the specific role rather than assuming they match.
Eligibility
🇪🇺 The listing hosts only candidates who do not require an additional work visa, meaning EU and EEA residents or people with existing residency.
How to Apply
Applications go by email with your CV and motivation letter, the dates you want and how long you can stay, and optionally a short self introduction video. For a content role, that optional video is effectively a work sample, so treat it as one.
