Volunteer

EducAid is run by a team of very committed staff both in the UK and Sierra Leone, yet we wouldn't be able to do what we do without the contribution of volunteers 

We welcome volunteers both remotely and in Sierra Leone.

For us to best understand your profile, please could interested individuals send a current CV and an email explaining why you would like to volunteer with EducAid and what areas of skill and experience you can bring.

 

Find out more below on volunteer opportunities:

From home

Volunteering options from home have the opportunity to create a massive impact for EducAid. Our London team handles the majority of fundraising, strategy and communications and at times has need for help in these areas.

Work in areas of web development/content creation, film production and on-going capacity-building support is also welcomed. This can be done remotely with some contact with the London team.

Interested volunteers should please send us a current CV and an email info@educaid.org.uk explaining why you would like to volunteer with EducAid and the specific areas of skill and experience you can bring.

In Sierra Leone

Our team in Sierra Leone are also so grateful  for the contribution of qualified volunteers. Past volunteers have taught in schools, ran workshops, created film footage and many more!

If you’re interested in volunteering in Sierra Leone, please send us your current CV and an email to info@educaid.org.uk explaining why you would like to volunteer with EducAid and the specific areas of skill and experience you can bring.

EducAid asks that volunteers have a DBS/CRB check (usually £15-20), insurance including medivac for the extent of trip to SL to make sure you can access any medical care should you need it - rates vary.

We also ask that volunteers fundraise for EducAid (suggested target of £1,000) as a way to give back to the organisation and staff that give their time to support onboarding and working with volunteers.

Fundraise

Every year, generous supporters like you help us raise vital funds to transform lives through education.

There are many ways to support EducAid! Individuals come together with friends and family to organise events—big or small, fun or challenging—to raise money and awareness for our work.

EducAid also occasionally hosts events, bringing our community together to make a difference - in the UK and Sierra Leone.
