Frequently Asked Questions
International volunteers

We will ask you to volunteer with one initiative at a time. You can start volunteering with another initiative once you're done with your first one. If you have any other initiatives you are working/volunteering with it's okay, but make sure you can commit and deliver what you promised.
This means we don't yet have a volunteering opportunity in our database that fits your profile. Unfortunately, we can't guarantee you an introduction, but we do our best to find the best matches from the volunteers who applied.
It's okay, this happens. Please email us about it, so we can disable your profile.

Success Stories
Graphic Designer from Manchester, UK
“In summer 2022, I filled SUN's online form for volunteers, which popped up on my Instagram feed. Soon after, I had a nice introductory call with Saya, a project team member, where we talked about gender equality, people's suffering caused by war and volunteering as a way to do something about it. That's how I became a part of the Future of Work initiative, where I worked on a number of great projects and met incredible people.”
“For me, volunteering is about building a safety net for those who really need support. This makes me believe in the good nature of people, and that things can change for the better.”
