The program

The opportunity

This volunteer will work closely with the program team members and support the delivery of the presentations for primary schools, secondary schools and the community, giving volunteers valuable insights into the reasons why people seek asylum. In addition, volunteers will have a unique opportunity to share unbiased and neutral information so that participants have the chance to engage in the conversation and explore this topic further with their communities.     

The impact

As a volunteer you will learn about a variety of resources that can be used to understand the very essence of human rights, asylum seeking and why people migrate to Australia. Red Cross will ensure you have training, ongoing support and access to other opportunities within the World's largest humanitarian network.
