volunteer opportunities
The Humanitarian Centre relies on volunteers and interns to manage and run many of its programmes and events. Volunteer experience with the Humanitarian Centre is an opportunity to work in a dynamic non-profit organisation whilst interacting with a number of exciting NGOs. In a sector where voluntary experience is seen as crucial to later job prospects, we feel that time spent with the Humanitarian Centre is a good opportunity to understand the sector better and develop relevant skills and contacts for further engagement.
The Careers section of our website also contains relevant links for people interested in careers in the sector.
