We seek and welcome a small number of volunteers with specific skills and experience to join FNPF on a longer term basis (eg. at least 3 months). Long term volunteers work directly for FNPF’s management team as members of FNPF staff. Volunteers are selected because they can bring considerable experience in a particular field.
The positions are just the same as taking a standard job, except you will be volunteering your services and receive no financial payment. You will be expected to commit to work a specific number of hours / days per week (to be agreed with FNPF depending on your circumstances). Because of our limited resources, we also request that you bring your own computer.
Note that we are a small organisation and only have the capacity for a small number of volunteers to work with us on a longer term basis. If you want apply to join FNPF as a long term volunteer, then please answer the following questions and send your application to info@fnpf.org

We are looking for people who can join FNPF for a minimum of 3 months. Please specify the number of days / hours that you will be able to commit to work for FNPF each week. It is important that you establish regular working hours / days per week with FNPF.
