APPLY TO BE A VOLUNTEER
We receive many volunteer applications and are a very small staff. We do read every application, and if your area of interest aligns with our need, we will reach out to you.
To submit a volunteer application, fill out the form below. Please be sure to attach your resume or CV as a PDF file.
Note: BGR provides help through other charities that are already “on the ground” in various countries; therefore, BGR does not have volunteer staff on site.
