Volunteers & Interns

Our work with deprived children and young people would not be possible without the generous commitment of our volunteers and interns.

Ambassadors

Volunteer Ambassadors spread awareness of SUFA's work, and raise funds to support deprived children and young people in Africa.

Being a SUFA Ambassador is a great way to have fun, learn new skills and make friends while fighting poverty and suffering in Africa.

Ambassadors are UK volunteers who represent SUFA in their community. They build awareness of our work and raise vital funds to support development projects. If you would like to become a SUFA Ambassador, we can provide you with all the advice and support you need, including fundraising materials and advice.

As a SUFA Ambassador, you can help fight poverty and suffering by:

• Displaying posters and distributing leaflets in your area.
• Organising a fundraising event or collection in your area.
• Speaking to local clubs and groups about SUFA's work.
• Representing SUFA at local events and cheque collections.
• Starting a School Support Group.

Interns

Do you want to Stand Up For Africa by contributing your skills, time and energy? Why not join our busy, friendly volunteer team at our head office in Battersea, London? We regularly offer internships for students and recent graduates, providing valuable experience of the charity sector.

We are looking for hardworking, committed and lively people to join the team and get involved in activities such as administration, bookkeeping, fundraising marketing and communications, and event organisation. Interns are asked to commit to working two or three days a week for three months.

To apply for an internship, please email your CV with a covering letter telling us about your organisational and communication skills, and your commitment to social justice. We will keep your details on file until we have a relevant volunteer vacancy at our head office.

School Support Groups

We need enthusiastic students to organise School Support Groups and raise vital funds for our development projects.

Find out how to start a School Support Group.

Skills Exchange

You may be interested in our Skills Exchange Project, which enables volunteers and interns to share their skills and expertise with our project partners in Africa.

“ As an Intern I am gaining a wide range of experience and skills. The team is fun and lively, there is never a dull moment or a task too tedious. And I am grateful to SUFA for creating and providing this lifetime opportunity to students like myself! ”Toni Ayanlaja
