Opportunities
We are a people-powered movement who welcome new hands.
RAL does not receive official funding to operate. We rely primarily on donor contributions for funding and on our volunteers to keep our services running. If you're interested in offering your skills in a dedicated volunteer role, please see our opportunities below. Unlike casual or once-off volunteering, these positions require an ongoing weekly commitment on a part-time basis. Professional volunteers in these roles are required to become RAL members and pay the annual $10 membership fee.
Gain valuable exposure to the not-for-profit sector.
We encourage students to contribute their knowledge, putting theory into practice, in one of our intern positions. These student placements are separate from RAL's volunteer membership and do not require the $10 membership fee. Intern roles require a minimum three-month commitment on a part-time basis.
Please submit expressions of interest via the form at the bottom.
