Expression of Interest (EOI) - Volunteer Opportunities

UNICEF Australia at times offers volunteer opportunities where you can both make a difference with the skills and experience you bring or learn new skills through valuable experience. 

Please keep an eye on the Job Opportunities section, for volunteer opportunities when they arise. Alternatively, you can also submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to volunteer with us telling us a little about yourself. To learn more about our Volunteer Opportunities and submitting an EOI, please read on.
