The International Secretariat (IS) of Amnesty International (AI) has a volunteering programme which covers the London office and the seven global offices

We currently have 90 volunteers and interns supporting the work that we do.

Volunteers and Interns assist members of staff with all aspects of their work and are involved in all programmes across the International Secretariat.

Some areas where volunteers and interns are utilised:

• monitoring the international press
• translating
• undertaking research
• online communities
• raising funds
• human rights education
• campaigns
• supporting human resources and accounting programmes

Our Internship programmes are based at the International Secretariat (IS) offices in London, Geneva and New York and occasionally in other IS offices.

Interns are generally recruited for a four to six month period on a full time basis, to carry out administrative and project related work within the Law and Policy Programme, International Advocacy Programme, Human Rights Education, Refugee and Migrants’ Rights as well as with the Office of the Secretary General.

The support we receive from our Volunteers and Interns is invaluable and highly recognised.
