You can still apply by filling in the application form at http://www.kabissa.org/about/volunteering. The volunteer coordinator will analyse your background and skills and might find a position for you in the volunteers team. 

You can still fill in the online form now so that we have your details on record and can keep in contact with you. Or you can hold off applying until you are ready to volunteer. 

Volunteers commit to positions for periods of either three or six months.

At quarterly evaluation meetings with the volunteering coordinator, the volunteer evaluates his/her performance and satisfaction in the position. Together they decide whether whether to continue on for another period and for how long.

We are gratified that many volunteers that are a good fit for the team choose to stay on for a year or even longer, either in the same position (which helps to provide continuity) or shifting periodically to new positions in order to gain experience with more aspects of operating Kabissa while helping to onboard and mentor new volunteers entering positions they have left.

It will depend on which role you are interested in. However, you will need to be open-minded, non-judgmental, be able to listen, learn, and work in a team. In most other roles, volunteers will usually need some form of prior experience. 

We are flexible regarding hours as many people have other commitments outside of their voluntary work. Most of our volunteer roles require a few hours a week. There is a minimum of 10 hours/week. You should discuss with the volunteer coordinator, the time you have available, your interests, and skills, and how they fit with Kabissa. 

Volunteers may leave the project or take some time out at any point if they feel unable to commit their time (e.g. for health reasons, study or paid employment). Where possible, we ask you to let us know with as much advance warning as possible if you are going to leave the project or need some time out.
