Join the forRefugees family and become a volunteer or Trustee with us

If you share our passion for supporting people who’ve become refugees, and have relevant skills and time to offer, then get in touch! You’ll be joining a lovely team in an ambitious and growing charity.

In particular, we’d love to hear from people offering experience of:

Fundraising (all kinds)
Newsletters & Mailchimp
Donor Stewardship
Data Analysis and Impact Reporting

However, skills and experience in one or more of these are not essential in order to apply as we’re keen to hear from a wide range of candidates and find out what each person can offer. Trustee positions are unpaid and require around five hours commitment of time per month. ForRefugees are committed to equal opportunities and welcome applications from all. Graduates and non-graduates equally welcome.

To volunteer on the ground in Europe with one of our Local Partners please contact them directly, or apply via Indigo Volunteers. Good luck!
