Volunteer with CARAD
CARAD is a volunteer-led organisation, powered by the dedication of over 200 volunteers who generously donate their time, expertise, and skills to make a positive impact on the lives of asylum seekers, refugees, and detainees. Our volunteers are at the heart of our work, contributing in countless ways to support our community and promote dignity, well-being, and inclusion.
We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities, with options for both long-term commitments and shorter-term engagements to suit different availability and interests.
Currently, we have opportunities in our Opening Doors Program, which supports individuals in transitioning to life in the community.
Volunteering in the Opening Doors Program
Join CARAD’s Opening Doors program and make a meaningful impact in the lives of people seeking asylum and refugees. Volunteers provide tailored support to help individuals build confidence, develop skills, and navigate opportunities in Australia. You can get involved in:
Education Support – Assist primary and secondary students with English literacy, homework, and schoolwork to help them thrive in their studies.
Employment Support – Mentor adults by offering guidance on job applications, resumes, interview skills, and workplace expectations.
Social Support – Help individuals feel connected by sharing knowledge, encouraging participation in the community, and providing practical assistance.
By volunteering, you’ll empower people to achieve their goals and create lasting change.
Whether you’re looking to get involved regularly or on a more flexible basis, there is a role for you at CARAD.
