Volunteering at Baptist World Aid

Volunteers are an important part of Baptist World Aid’s rich, 60-year history. It was a group of committed volunteers who first began this poverty ending work, and for our first 20 years, Baptist World Aid was run solely by generous volunteers. But volunteers are not only a part of our organisation’s history… they’ are also a vital and incredibly valued part of our operation today!

Baptist World Aid is currently blessed by around 35 regular volunteers, who give generously of their time and talents to help fulfil our shared mission to end poverty. They consistently help to minimise our administration costs so we can maximise the funds we invest overseas.

When you volunteer with Baptist World Aid, you’re volunteering for an international Christian development organisation working in 24 countries. You’ll be part of important work that empowers communities to lift themselves out of poverty and that, last year, benefited over 900 000 people.

You’ll volunteer 1-2 days per week at our North Ryde office, or remotely over a 12 month period. Hours and days are flexible.

Before volunteering you will need to complete a Police Check (paid for by Baptist World Aid) and a free Working With Children Check.
