Become a Volunteer
Stand up for global equality and rope your mates in!
We are all volunteers here and we know how precious everyone's time is, so volunteering with WORLDwrite means doing what you want to do, when you want to do it. The decisions are always yours. We don't want CVs, we don't have application forms, we can't afford flashy mail-outs and we can't pay anyone. We can promise a good laugh, a passionate team, a global perspective and a challenge for everyone up for it. WORLDwrite is looking for volunteers who want to let the world know that our peers in developing countries want equality not pity.
How to start Volunteering
WORLDwrite needs volunteers to participate in and help plan and organise all of its projects. The possibilities are enormous and jobs endless. You don't need skills - you do need aspirations. Please read the details below about how to start getting involved at WORLDwrite, and then visit our Volunteer Opportunities page, where you can browse through a detailed list of the (very varied!) opportunities we have available. Please remember that there is always something everybody can help out with at WORLDwrite, so even if none of the specific opportunities appeal, get in touch anyway and come to one of our introductory evenings to find out more.

WORLDwrite hosts introductory evenings once a month so that potential new volunteers can meet us, see our films, find out about our work and hopefully get involved straight away!
The next introductory evening is on:
Wednesday 10th September 2008 at 7:30pm
If you want to get involved straight away, please complete the simple form below and click the Submit button at the end. Please remember to indicate whether or not you can come to the introductory evening. If you can come, we will email you with confirmation and directions to our centre.
General information about open evenings
Please contact us first using the form above before coming to an open evening, as space is limited. These are informal evenings and allow us to discuss our work and projects with you, and provide you with an opportunity to present your needs and interests. The volunteer opportunities we have are numerous, exciting and flexible time-wise.
Please note WORLDwrite is not a drop-in centre - it's very busy and full of volunteers who are passionate about global equality and working hard on projects. This means you cannot just turn up at our centre without making an arrangement with us first.
If you're not London-based we still want to hear from you, as lots of our volunteers work from home, visit us occasionally, and therefore can be based anywhere in the world.
Volunteer Enquiry Form
If you have applied for volunteering with WORLDwrite through the Do-It website then there's no need to fill out the form below; you will hear from us shortly via email.
Hi I'm Emma Grant, WORLDwrite's Volunteer Coordinator, and I'll be replying to your emails.
I have been involved with WORLDwrite for a few years now and have been enthused from the offset and worked on lots of different projects. I started as a volunteer, logging and transcribing footage from Ghana, and quickly got a place on the Shoot It film training programme. This was a great experience; we had sessions on all aspects of documentary filmmaking and were able to discover our niche while developing ideas. I had a go at editing on Damned by Debt Relief which was an incredible learning experience both politically and technically. I have always had lots of respect for WORLDwrite's unique and challenging approach and I'm thrilled to have become part of the team. Coordinating volunteers allows me to really get involved in all the projects that WORLDwrite runs and this is a continuously inspiring experience.
Hello, I am Aisha and I am the new Volunteer Coordinator here at WORLDwrite sharing the work with Emma.
I have been an active supporter of WORLDwrite for some time now. It is fantastic for me to be part of an organisation that ensures everyone can get involved and is not afraid to stand up and speak out on issues of global equality and more besides. If you are a current volunteer or interested in volunteering at WORLDwrite I am here to help you get involved in our projects and get the most out of your volunteering experience. Amongst other projects, I am working on fundraising for Global Appeals, campaigning for equality, not pity for our peers in Ghana. I am also learning to edit so that I can contribute to some of WORLDwrite's up and coming documentaries.
