  • Training

  • Grants

  • IT (Wix and KeystoneJS)

  • Social Media 

 

Joining the administration side of Australian Refugee Volunteers requires a high level of commitment and understanding of the organisation and its aims. Therefore most administrative volunteers also need to attend some program days.
