How to Help » Volunteer

We have many opportunities for volunteers. If you're interested or talented in a specific area, we most likely can use you! IHF is proud to work amongst various faiths and backgrounds.

At IHF we strive to give our volunteers the big-picture about world poverty and development. To do this, we ask that they get involved in all aspects of our programs. This means that all volunteers will be involved in the hands on teaching and care-giving, as well as the administration and general management of the organization. In this way, we aim to fill the missing information about issues concerning modern development, education and non-profit organizations.

We also have a great need for overseas volunteers in Thailand, Indonesia or Kenya and can arrange a wonderful trip for you to serve on! The longer the better! If you are interested in volunteering at our headquarters or our overseas projects or learning more about us, please fill out the appropriate application below and we will contact you as soon as possible.

All our volunteers will be immediately be assigned a task that they can work on from home. This includes our applicants who are applying to go to our centers overseas. These task take from 1 to 4 hours a week and vary from assisting with sponsor letters, media, accounting, promotional material, website maintenance and many other tasks. You will have a choice of which task you would like to do. This task will help to introduce you to other IHF volunteers and to the organizational structure. It will also play a part in the application process, as it allows us to assess your unique skills and capabilities.

With all our volunteers from around the world, dedicating a few hours of their time and expertise to IHF, we are able to keep our operational and administration costs to a minimum. This allows us to open our volunteer positions without charging high application fees or volunteering fees. We hope you will participate in IHF to make volunteering an affordable experience for everyone. To see a list of our current priority tasks please email weeklytasks@ihfonline.org.
