Have you ever wished you could work against systemic oppression but thought you didn’t have the right skill-set? Have you ever wondered how your talents could possibly be used to help a victim of exploitation?

For Freedom International wants to remove these misleading categorizations. Below are some of our current, and perhaps unorthodox, volunteer and staff positions. If you don’t see one that fits you but feel you have a unique way to contribute to our work, contact us and let us know!
