Volunteer Opportunities

The CTRC hosts a variety of conferences, workshops, events, and outreach programmes throughout the year.  We are always looking for people who are willing to lend a few hours of their time.  If you are interested in volunteering with us, please send an email to info@ctrc.co.za. 

Kindly include your name, contact information, and general times of availability. If there is a specific area that you are interested in getting involved with (e.g. skills training workshops, children's groups, conferences, translating, events, etc.), please mention this in your email.

Thank you for your interest in working to create a broader network of support for refugees and asylum seekers throughout South Africa.
