Explore journalism and multimedia volunteer opportunities involving reporting, interviews, writing, documentary work, audio, video and other forms of digital storytelling.
These roles may appear in NGOs, community organisations, cultural projects, environmental initiatives and other settings where volunteers or interns help research, document and communicate stories through one or more media formats.
What counts as journalism and multimedia? 📰🎥
On this page, journalism and multimedia means that gathering information, interviewing, reporting, writing, producing audio or video, documenting stories or combining several media formats is a genuine part of the role. General social media use, occasional photography or simply maintaining a website is not enough on its own.
Journalism, filmmaking and social media
These activities can overlap, but they are not interchangeable. Filmmaking focuses specifically on recording, producing or editing video. Photography focuses on still images and image editing, while Social media covers managing or creating content for social platforms.
Journalism and multimedia is most useful when storytelling, reporting or combining several media formats is a substantial part of the opportunity rather than an occasional communication task.
How to use this page
Read each listing carefully and check what the organisation actually needs. Ask whether you will be expected to conduct interviews, research stories, write articles, take photographs, record audio or video, edit material or produce finished multimedia content. Also confirm what equipment and software are available and whether you are expected to bring your own.
If the work involves identifiable people, especially children or people in vulnerable situations, ask how consent, privacy and safeguarding are handled before recording or publishing images, interviews or personal stories. Clarify who owns the resulting material and where it may be published or reused.
Internships and volunteer placements can be paid, unpaid or involve different arrangements for accommodation and living costs. Check the conditions of the individual opportunity rather than assuming that costs or compensation depend on the country where the project is based.
