Hi, I responded to a thread and this subject arose. I though I would post the info here and invite additional information

For people interested in volunteering with refugees in Malta, there are several ways to get involved. The most well known organizations in the refugee network, the Jesuit Refugee Service and the Maltese Red Cross, provide the most opportunities, but aren't the only programs to work with. Students at the University of Malta have access to a network of volunteer placements through a program called DegreePlus (not all are refugee related) which recognizes volunteer work for credit. Additionally, a recently formed student NGO called Get Up Stand Up has opportunities for students interested in "spreading awareness about human rights and campaigning for improved inter-cultural relations". They have created several projects to improve living conditions for immigrants in Malta, such as setting up a library in the Marsa Open Center and organizing soccer matches.
