What is expected of IARC’s Volunteers

General

IARC is an organisation with limited funds. Accordingly, the contribution of IARC’s committed and competent volunteers is extremely valuable to our centre and our clients, enabling us to maximize accessibility to our services.

IARC engages around 10 volunteers each year for assistance with administrative, paralegal, research or project work within ordinary business hours (10am to 5pm).

    Who can volunteer?

    IARC considers all volunteer applications received for volunteer work, and assesses applications against the needs of the centre at the relevant time. Due to the high volume of applications received, and the limited resources of our centre, it is impossible to respond to all requests received. Rest assured, however, that your application is much appreciated, it will be considered and you will be contacted should a suitable vacancy arise within 3 months of the date your application is received. Further information about how to become an IARC volunteer is available at How to apply.
