The Humanitarian Centre advertises current volunteering opportunities for international development projects in Cambridge and overseas. If you would like to be notified of new opportunities, please subscribe to the mailing list here.

If you would like to advertise a volunteering opportunity, either in Cambridge or overseas, please email info@humanitariancentre.org.

If you are an organisation sending volunteers overseas, you may find the Guidelines for sending volunteers on overseas placements (PDF) useful, produced with the kind support of the University of Cambridge Societies Syndicate.

“Entering the international development sector can be extremely difficult for young professionals. The Humanitarian Centre helps pave the way for Cambridge students by providing an inspiring platform for gaining valuable volunteer experience and networking with professionals in the field.” - Amanda Norman, Career Advisor at the University of Cambridge.
