Volunteer
Join the RAIC volunteer community today
We’re building a world where every refugee and asylum seeker has access to information, resources and opportunities to participate in the decision-making that impacts their lives and their communities, while making choices that best suit their personal circumstances. Do you want to join us?
Volunteers are central to the work that RAIC Indonesia does and make a real difference for refugee and asylum seeker communities in Indonesia. Our volunteers are based all around the world and bring a range of skillsets and backgrounds to the team.
For any questions, please contact admin@raicindonesia.org

Volunteers assist RAIC Indonesia with various roles and tasks where you can use your skills and bring benefit to our programs. This may include:

- Awareness raising and advocacy
- Translation of resources
- Distribution of food and hygiene packages in Indonesia
- Online and in-person events
- Communications
You may have another particular strength not listed here that could be of great help to us. Fill out our expression of interest form so we can learn more about you and the volunteer opportunities that may suit!
If you are a refugee or asylum seeker living in Indonesia, you are welcome to volunteer for our programs with communities on the ground.
For other volunteers outside Indonesia or without lived experience of displacement, we do not offer volunteering opportunities with communities in Indonesia. We prioritize recruiting local volunteers from within the refugee and asylum seeker community to grow and sustain local skills and experience and ensure our programs are culturally and linguistically appropriate. But we do have plenty of opportunities for volunteers to get involved remotely and support from your home country!
While some volunteer roles may require specific skills or experience, the most important thing you can bring is enthusiasm and a willingness to learn! We support all new volunteers to develop their skills and knowledge to be an effective contributor to the team.
Anyone! Our team works remotely, and we all bring diverse backgrounds, languages and expertise. You just need legal permission to volunteer in the country where you live and a computer and internet for communication if you’re based outside Indonesia. We also expect all volunteers to comply with RAIC Indonesia’s Code of Conduct and policies.
We give preference to volunteers who can commit to regular hours over a period of at least 6-months but are able to accommodate different options based on your availability (e.g., regular days each week, short-term projects or annual corporate volunteering days). Volunteers usually work with us during business hours, but our team is located around the world, so we also work outside regular ‘office’ hours and on weekends. The time commitment would be discussed and agreed upon between yourself and the RAIC Indonesia team before commencing as a volunteer.
