Volunteer
RDC is always looking for national / international long term or short term Volunteers with their first diploma or degree in following areas:
- Social Work, Community Development or Psychosocial Counseling
- Business Management
- Teaching
- Early Childhood Education
- Information Technology
- Human Resource Management
- Public / International Relation
- Monitoring and Evaluation
- Agriculture
- Cosmetology
- Any other Diploma or Degree relevant for our work
We offer a range of opportunities to get involved in RDC, value the contribution made by volunteers and are committed to involve them in appropriate positions and in ways which are of mutual benefit.
Short term Volunteers have to commit for a minimum of 3 month and will be engaged in RDC with a specific task. They will not be involved in working direct with the girls in the Centre as we promote ethical volunteering and act in the best interest of our girls who form attachments very quickly, particularly as their own relationships with their families have already been disrupted by separation. Every time a volunteer leaves, children are left behind, with often adverse effect as they learn not to trust or invest in relationships.
Long-term Volunteering for up to one year is encouraged especially for nationals who are looking for first experience in their field of profession.
As we are aiming at a rehabilitation duration of up to one year before a girl is reintegrated with her family this is the ideal timing to be also able to work with the girls, preferably long term volunteers should start engaging with RDC latest March each year as this is the time new cohort of girls are being admitted to the Centre.
Applications should include a motivation letter outlining the specific area or work interested in and specific skills that will be of use for RDC, an up to date CV, school leaving and college or university certificates. In case we will engage you we will require you to further hand in a recent certificate of good conduct.
We are looking forward to receiving your application to volunteer with us, email to: info@rescuedada.org
