Volunteer

Volunteers contribute significantly to the development of the Micah Network and its activities. At this stage of our development, and with only a small number of staff, we are dependent on volunteers to help develop the network and to support its activities.

Current volunteer needs

The Micah Network secretariat is currently looking for :

  • Translators: people with translation level skills in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish (global)
  • Students and practitioners in the areas of advocacy, community development and integral mission (global)
  • Administration support (for office in Melbourne, Australia)

Volunteering with Micah Network is interesting and rewarding. As Micah Network is still a very young network, we are continuing to grow and develop and there is a lot of work to be done. It is also an opportunity to further develop your skills and to work with others of similar interests. For example, our French translators are in regular contact with each other and although they are based in different parts of the world, work very closely together by email.

If you would like to find out more about volunteering, please contact the International Coordinator (ic@micahnetwork.org).
