Volunteer

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.

Being a Volunteer means

Working alongside committee members, other volunteers and sometimes independently. The ETWA office is located at the Augustine Centre, Hawthorn, where a number of other community based organisations operate. ETWA works collaboratively with these groups in a supportive environment so that ETWA volunteers benefit from these partnerships and vice versa.
