Job Description

Build something meaningful. Together. Since the beginning, the Centre for Gender, Sexuality, and Human Rights (GSHR) has been powered entirely by volunteers. Every campaign we have launched, every story we have told, every step we have taken, none of it would have happened without people like you. People who believe in justice, equity, and dignity. People who want to make a difference, and do it alongside others who care just as deeply.We are not a top-down institution. We are a collective. And we are always looking for new collaborators to join us in shaping feminist, queer, and human rights-centred futures. What It Means to Volunteer at GSHR Volunteering with us is not about burning out or over-extending yourself. It is about doing meaningful work within your capacity, learning with others, and contributing to something you believe in.

We will always be clear from the start about what is expected, and we will work with you to make sure your time here is fulfilling and sustainable.We ask that volunteers:Communicate openly about availability and breaksKeep sensitive info confidentialLog their work weekly (just to help us stay organised and appreciate your contributions)Uphold our shared values of care, equity, and professionalismWhat You will Get from Us We do not offer salaries.
