All of our work is volunteer
All the activities carried out by New Acropolis in the world, in its different fields of action, are achieved thanks to the work of thousands of volunteers.
Our Vision of Volunteering
At New Acropolis, volunteering is a practical means of embodying and applying philosophy and culture. It is an attitude of active and conscious participation in contributing to the common good of society, assumed by every idealist.
Through volunteering, we demonstrate our commitment to society by engaging in humanitarian, ecological, and social projects that support those in need.
The volunteering programs offered by New Acropolis provide opportunities to develop values such as solidarity, tolerance, and respect for others, which not only benefit us as individuals, but also contribute to improving the world around us.

“If we can’t find anything that’s worthwhile, there is no better constructive criticism than to get to work on what we believe to be good and possible. Setting a good example continues to be the best of teachings, the best demonstration and the most polished argument.”
