Volunteering with CAIA offers you a positive way to contribute to the lives of people within the Armenian community. There is a wide range of volunteering opportunities with CAIA including administration, research, social media, cataloguing and book restoration at our library, Armenian Community Pre-school Group, Armenian Youth Club, Elders Lunch Club, Digital Inclusion Project, events, and more.

Apart from helping us to help others, voluntary work can have many advantages such as making new friends, learning new skills, and a real sense of making an immediate contribution to the Armenian community.

In return, we provide out-of-pocket travel costs, lunch if volunteering over 4 hours, and references.
