With the expansion of our programs—including Apostolic Voice University, the Community Mental Health and First Aid initiative, the Leadership Development and Mentorship Program, and Ubuntu Vision Studios—we seek a committed team of volunteers to assist in managing our human resources. This involves responsibilities such as recruiting, onboarding, and maintaining accurate records and policy compliance. We are opening 5 volunteer positions on our new Volunteer HR Team.

Before submitting your application, please review the following essential details to ensure you meet all qualifications and understand the role’s requirements and responsibilities. We kindly remind applicants that this opportunity is an unremunerated volunteer role.

WHO CAN APPLY

Individuals who embrace AVERT’s Christian principles and dedication to community transformation are encouraged to apply. Prospective candidates should align with our mission of fostering positive change through faith-based initiatives.
