Interested in volunteering?

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us! The school year is divided into two semesters, April - July and August - December. We prefer you to stay from beginning to end of one of these semesters or the full year, to strengthen the program and lessen the disruption in the transition of volunteers. However, if you can only commit to a shorter period, we are flexible and still interested in your application. If arriving in time for a new semester, plan on coming at least a week before term starts to settle in a little before classes begin.

Here is what you need to do next:

Firstly read our volunteering information pack. It is incredibly important that you understand what we are about before you decide to volunteer with us, so that you involve yourself in something you really believe in and we get a volunteer that is fully dedicated to our projects.
