Volunteering

Would you like to get involved with the global solidarity sector here in Wales, and gain valuable skills and experience in international development? Or are you an established specialist who would like to use existing skills to help our partner organisations achieve their full potential?

The Hub Cymru Africa volunteering programme offers volunteering opportunities with our team, as well as in grassroots Wales Africa and Fair trade organisations across Wales.
