While week-to-week timing is flexible, our preference is that volunteers commit to a minimum placement of 3 months, volunteering at least one day per week.
All expressions of interest from potential volunteers are welcome regardless of prior experience. Previous volunteers’ areas of interest include International Development, International Relations, women’s empowerment, and community development, among many others.
Assisi Aid Projects accepts applications for internships and engages students on a case-by-case basis.
While the majority of our volunteer roles occur within business hours, we welcome expressions of interest and a suitable role on our sub-committees may be available dependent on experience.
Assisi Aid Projects supports in-country partners to implement its projects, prioritising community ownership and long-term sustainability. For this reason, we are not able to provide overseas volunteer opportunities.
Volunteers complete a range of work assignments such as program support, research, fundraising, communications, social media, and general administration. The Chief Executive Officer will work with you to determine the areas of work you will focus on in your role.
