Why should I join ICHARS-SF as a Volunteer?
- You are passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of people around
- You are planning to study abroad and want to boost your resume
- You want to inspire people to live a happier, healthier and a more fulfilling life
How much time commitment do I need for the volunteership?
Sustainable change in perception and mindset required to remove stigma, takes persistent effort over a period of time. Meticulous planning and execution of a project requires time especially when we strive to do so to do the best of our capacity.
Normally we only take on volunteers/interns who can commit to a minimum of three months, in order for the volunteer and the organisation to get the most out of the virtual volunteering experience.
On a daily basis, except in case of crowdfunding volunteers, you are expected to give around an hour for this volunteership.
When are applications open?
Applications are open all year round. Ideally, a candidate would apply to be a volunteer about 1 month before they would like to start their placement.
How does virtual volunteering work?
At ICHARS-SF we use online workplaces like facebook groups, google meet, restream and Zoom to create a cohesive virtual working environment. The same applies to the partners we work with and the projects we take on.
What work can I expect to be involved in at ICHARS-SF?
Usually, you will be assigned to one of ICHARS-SF’s ongoing projects. What you do within that project will depend on your learning objectives and the opportunities available during your time at ICHARS-SF.
