The Experience

We are not simply looking for volunteers to complete tasks. We are looking for people who want to live, learn, create and share as part of a community. İmece Initiative has been working since 2014 to create spaces based on solidarity, empowerment and sustainable living. Today, İmece Village is one of these spaces — a place where volunteers, local people, disadvatages women and children come together to learn from each other.

Had the best time ever and I will be back! The projects are hands on and the team are lovely human beings dedicated to genuine community work. They are also open to new ideas. Everyone is really helpful. Easy to get around by public transport. Working hours and expectations were clear. Met some incredible local people as well as international - and know we will stay in touch. The grounds are stunning (with incredible sunset views) and we had homecooked food everyday. It was worth every penny. Highly recommend. Solidarity always <3
