Volunteering with Front Line Defenders (Dublin)

We are currently seeking a Portuguese speaking volunteer based in Dublin for some informal language support for a visiting human rights defender. Please phone Tara on 01 2123750 if you are interested.

We have a small number of volunteers who come in to work in the Front Line Defenders office on a regular basis.

If you would like to be considered for volunteer work in our office please write to tara@frontlinedefenders.org giving details of your availability (number of days or half days per week during office hours) what motivates you to work with Front Line Defenders and attaching a CV which details any human rights experience, language or other specialist skills.
