Become a volunteer

Do you want to make a difference?
Contact the IFHHRO Secretariat  and become a volunteer!

We need people with organisational and administrative skills to organize our library and update our contacts database. At this moment we are especially looking for French translators.

Here are some experiences shared by IFHHRO volunteers:

Anna, August 2011
My name is Anna and I am from Poland, precisely from Krakow. In Utrecht I was on Erasmus exchange where I had plenty of free time so I decided to become a volunteer for IFHHRO. The reason I decided to do it was to get some experience.
I went to the organization two days a week, my responsibilities here included: creating an IFHHRO page on Wikipedia as well as updating the IFHHRO website.
It was a really nice experience to work for this organization, and  because people who work here are very friendly and open- minded I had a really good time during my volunteering.
If you want to learn and do something useful and creative this organization is for you:-)

Helen King Ho Or, June & August 2011
I am originally from Hong Kong and was attending Master’s of International Development Studies at Utrecht University during the 3 months I volunteered for IFHHRO; I went to the office 3 days a week in the morning from June to August 2011I. My experience in IFHHRO is very fulfilling and rewarding. While conducting desk researches, translation of training manuals and statement writing, I have learned new issues and topics, as well as different tasks in a NGO.
IFHHRO is a flexible and relaxed working environment with extremely friendly staff members. Although the work I did mostly requires my own supervision, I can discuss with the staff and exchange ideas anytime. This process of “doing and learning” gives me a very meaningful summer. I recommend everybody who has interest in the area of Health and Human Rights can get to know IFHHRO and come volunteer with us!

Erica, February - July 2011
"I'm Erica, volunteering with IFHHRO two days a week.  I'm from Sydney, Australia, and I'll be living in Utrecht until August. I have just completed my bachelors degrees in Law and Finance and am spending a few months in Europe before heading back to Sydney. 

I'll be helping update the WIKI (particularly on the topics of Sterilisation and Sexual Health and Reproductive Rights) as well as the Youtube page. I have been enjoying my time at IFHHRO and the research I've been doing, and am glad I have the opportunity to work with the organisation."
