Advocacy work 📢
Explore advocacy volunteering opportunities involving awareness campaigns, research, communications, community outreach and support for organisations working on social, environmental or human rights issues.
Advocacy can take many forms. Depending on the organisation, volunteers may help document issues, prepare information, conduct research, support campaigns, organise public activities or communicate with communities, partner organisations and institutions.
What does advocacy work involve?
Read each listing carefully to understand the actual responsibilities. Advocacy may require strong writing, research, communication or language skills, and some roles involve sensitive legal, humanitarian or personal information.
Volunteers should work within clearly defined responsibilities and appropriate supervision. Legal advice, professional casework and representation of vulnerable people may require specific qualifications or authorisation and should not be assigned to an unqualified volunteer.
How to use this page
Check the publication date and confirm the current role, required experience, expected hours, supervision and any minimum commitment directly with the organisation. Some advocacy positions may be professional internships or paid roles rather than informal volunteer exchanges.
If the work involves refugees, children, survivors of violence or other vulnerable people, ask about confidentiality, data protection, safeguarding and appropriate training before participating.
