VOLUNTEER
It’s one of the most rewarding ways you can make a difference.
There is nothing more fulfilling than knowing you have made a real impact on the lives of others.

For us, volunteering is a two-way process—you learn from us and we learn from you.
We give volunteers the opportunity to share their knowledge and skills,
and become genuine catalysts for change.

We need volunteers for:

• Education and Skills Training
• Community Engagement
• Resource Mobilization
• Communications and Advocacy
• Research

Interested volunteers may send their letter of intent, short bio and a filled-out volunteer form to volunteer@visayanforum.org.
