Volunteer
Volunteers are how NDF reaches communities. Tell us which pillar you want to work in and we will contact you if a placement matches your skills and availability.
What volunteering here actually involves
NDF is small and works in one state, which means volunteers are not a spare pair of hands kept at a distance — they are at the outreaches.
The foundation\'s work is delivered in the field: taking the Community Justice Centre into secondary schools, packing and distributing food parcels to widows across five local government areas, and getting exercise books into government primary schools. Those days need people to organise them, run them and record what happened.
Skills NDF looks for most often are community mobilisation, logistics, record-keeping, photography and social media, and legal or casework support for the justice centre. Teachers, health workers and students have all volunteered here. Whatever you do, you work to the foundation\'s safeguarding policy, and any volunteer working with children is checked first.
Volunteering is unpaid. NDF covers agreed transport and materials on outreach days, and the foundation will write you a reference after a completed placement.
It is also a route to a paid role. When a post opens, the foundation looks first at people who have already worked with it, and will tell a volunteer directly when something relevant comes up. See work at NDF.
Apply to volunteer
Tell us what you can do and when you are available. NDF will contact you if a placement matches, and will tell you if it does not rather than leave the application open.
