Volunteers
You are most welcome to volunteer at the Eating Disorder Foundation Inc. EDF relies upon the work of volunteers who generously contribute with their time. We offer you a broad range of activities with different level of involvement so you are free to find what suit you best.
In order to make volunteering as flexible as possible, EDF has designed a unique volunteer programme which is divided in three different levels:
Level 1 Volunteer: There are no minimum qualifications. One shift of 3 hours per month. The work involves writing for the newsletter, fundraising activities, administration duties, volunteering for events.
Level 2 EDF Intern Programme: There are no minimum qualifications. If you would like to be more involved, we propose you to do the stage 1 volunteer and take our 6 month training course -1 module of 2 hours per month, where you will learn more about eating disorder and tasks such as telephone counselling, facilitating a support group, chat line moderating, etc.
Level 3 Facilitators at EDF: After successfully completing the 6 month Intern Programme and a minimum of 6 hours per month volunteering. The work involves telephone counselling, responding to emails, media liaison, depending on your skills and your interest.
We also welcome you to contact us if you would like to donate some of your time and your professional skill set. We are happy to negotiate your involvement on a individual basis.
Thank you for your interest in contributing to EDF and we hope to hear from you soon.
