This publication by Koperattiva Kummerċ Ġust is specifically dedicated to youths. The handbook is possible because of the partnership between two Fair Trade organizations – Fair Trade Hellas and Koperattiva Kummerċ Ġust.

The objective of this guide is to provide concrete information on the ethos of volunteering. The inspiration has stemmed from various encounters with volunteers and activists together with consumers and the general public. This is a small user friendly handbook, designed for you to have a smooth reading.

We thank all those who have supported the 'FRAME' project, Fair Trade Hellas for
sharing information, Sophie Colsell for the editing, Kuluri for the meticulous design and lastly but not least, all the youths who will make use of this information.
