Volunteer Opportunities

The International Secretariat of Amnesty International in London and its seven global offices runs a voluntary programme.

We currently have 115 volunteers and interns supporting the work that we do.

The support we get from volunteers and interns is invaluable and we could not function without them. Volunteers help our members of staff with all aspects of their work and are involved in all programmes across the International Secretariat.

Some of that work includes:

  • monitoring the international press
  • translating
  • undertaking research
  • designing web pages
  • raising funds
  • supporting human resources and accounting programmes
Volunteers are generally associated with work of an administrative nature and recruited for a minimum three-month period.
