Get Involved

Vela is working around the clock to ensure that people who need help, get it, fast. It is our belief in humanity that dictates what we do and how we do it. It is our commitment to transparency that gained us stable and long-lived partnerships with donors and supporters throughout the years. Give people the power to regain their lives. Join us on this journey to make things better.

Volunteer with us

You have the power to touch people’s lives and make a real difference to the human community. By joining our team you will make part of a community of givers. At the same time sharpen your skills and get real on-the-ground experience.

We select volunteers based on one criterion: our ability to support and develop them at a given time and in retrospect their ability to be useful by filling gaps in our operations. Our volunteer recruiting process is therefore similar to that of recruiting staff, as we consider volunteers an integral part of our community.

How to apply

We have roles that suit everyone, whether you can work for a few hours or a few days a week.

Once you have submitted your application, you will receive a confirmation email that your application has been received (here to generate an automatic reply email).

Once we review your application we will be in touch with you by email to arrange an interview with us.

Depending on the role you are applying for, we may need to do a criminal record check. Full training on the role will be provided by our experienced staff.
