Our cancellation policy

A. Up to 12 weeks from the confirmed date of participation, a notification must be sent by e-mail to volunteers@archelon.gr: a full refund of the volunteer fee paid minus banking costs will be made

F. As an exception to the above, if the notification for cancellation is sent by e-mail to volunteers@archelon.gr, anytime up to 8 weeks from the confirmed date of participation, with proof that the cancellation is due to the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g. cancellation of confirmed flights, local lockdowns, illness or positive test results, etc), we will refund 50% of the volunteer fee paid.

Change of participation dates

A minor change of participation dates is allowed ONCE free of charge, before the payment of volunteer participation fees. If a significant change of dates is requested after the payment of fees, the terms of cancellation policy will be applied as appropriate

Extensions of stay: Any request for extending an already agreed period of participation within the same season/ year should be submitted by a new application. Once approved, the fee will be adjusted to cover accommodation costs calculated as 30€/week for the summer projects and 100€/week for the Rescue Centre.

In case of sickness by COVID-19 prior to the arrival in the project: If a notification is sent by email to volunteers@archelon.gr proving that the volunteer cannot travel in the confirmed dates, we will invite them to re-schedule as soon as possible. A renewed medical certificate will be needed before he/she is admitted again in the project.
