Volunteer

Why volunteer for Amnesty?

You will experience working for a major campaigning organisation and help us to make a difference. We run a volunteer programme in our offices in London, Edinburgh, Belfast and Cardiff. Volunteers are involved in a lot of different roles in campaigning, marketing, media and general support. So if you have time to give, come and join our voluntary programme.
