Volunteers are a critical resource for Equitas. Their involvement is an important indicator of the support which exists in the community for our mission. The time and energy contributed by volunteers are also critical to our ability to deliver the results we seek.

At Equitas, we believe volunteering must be mutually beneficial to both the individuals contributing their time and the organization. Equitas volunteers have opportunities to:

• Make a meaningful contribution to building a global culture of human rights
• Develop their knowledge and understanding of human rights issues and human rights education techniques
• Establish contacts in the international human rights community
• Gain valuable work experience and learn or practice important skills
• Have fun!

If you would like to get involved in Equitas as a volunteer, you can apply in the following manner:

• Review our current volunteer job openings to determine if there is a position which you would find interesting; these positions are updated regularly as new needs arise
• We ask that you have the necessary skills for the position since we do not have the resources to conduct extensive training
• Contact Pego Brennan pbrennan@equitas.org, indicating the position that interests you; also send either a CV or some information about your qualifications, including educational background and work experience
• On our part, we will review each application and respond within one week; since we receive many applications, if we are not able to accommodate you at this time, we will keep your CV on file for future opportunities

Please note that all our volunteers work in our Montreal office. We have no international volunteer program.

We thank you in advance for your interest in Equitas.
