Volunteer

INTRODUCTION

You must be the change you want to see in the world.—Mahatma Gandhi

VOLUNTEER MISSION STATEMENT

AWARE’s relationship with its volunteers must be one that is mutually beneficial. AWARE seeks reliable and enthusiastic volunteers. In turn AWARE aims to provide volunteer jobs which are interesting and challenging. Likewise AWARE seeks to provide an environment in which a person feels valued and can grow through meeting dynamic people and through being exposed to new ideas.

Volunteering with AWARE can be a great opportunity to give back to the community, learn and develop new skills, build your experience and resumé and to make a difference. Join us and meet some wonderfully amazing people.

We have opportunities for those that want to work remotely from home, at the AWARE office or a combination of both. Your commitment can range from working on an ad-hoc basis, part time or full time for any length of time!

We want to stir your passion on the topic that relates most to you. This is one of the factors that makes volunteering self-fulfilling. We do our best to match your interest and time commitments to the volunteering work.

GETTING TO KNOW AWARE

If you want to find out more about AWARE and AWARE’s volunteer activities, attend one of our monthly “Getting to Know AWARE” Nights. This is a casual open-house event where you can learn more about the activities of the organisation and the people who work and volunteer there.

VOLUNTEER PROFILES

AWARE has volunteer opportunities for people with various backgrounds and time availabilities.

Unemployed and Expat Spouses

Are you currently unemployed due to the economy and want to keep your tools sharp? Or, are you here due to your spouse and want to keep your CV current? While looking for work you can fill in gaps through volunteering and we can work with you on building your CV, based on your skills and talents.

Homemakers

As a homemaker, you may have some time on your hands while your kids are in school. If you want to make a contribution, we can find something that works with your schedule and your commitments.

Students

Students can contribute either as volunteers or interns. If you have a few hours a week to spare, we would welcome your time and talent as a volunteer. If you have more time (perhaps during a term break) internships are offered to students who can work for at least two months for a minimum of 32 hours a week.

Employed

Due to work commitment, you make need more flexibility when it comes to volunteering. You can work from home on various projects or you can work in project teams that mostly involve working remotely but meet on a monthly or ad hoc basis.
