Volunteer with ETWA


As a grassroots organisation we rely on our volunteers to make activities and projects a reality.

By volunteering with us you’ll get to meet like-minded people, learn new skills and make a difference. Our work ultimately benefits women and their families in Timor-Leste, whether through selling handcrafts, raising awareness of issues in Timor-Leste, fundraising, organising our Melbourne operations or supporting our partner groups here and in Timor-Leste.

If you would like to work with like-minded community oriented people, we would love to hear from you.

Being a Volunteer means


Working alongside committee members, other volunteers and sometimes independently. The ETWA office is located at the Augustine Centre, Hawthorn and is used for formal meetings. Communications & work is completed from preferred location using cloud & digital solutions.
