Volunteer Opportunities
Our volunteers play a vital role in helping Migrant Haven support migrants, refugees, and underserved communities across Greater Manchester. Volunteers contribute their time, skills, and lived experiences to help create a welcoming and supportive environment for the people we work with.
Depending on their interests and skills, volunteers may support community outreach activities, wellbeing sessions, employability workshops, events, social media and communications, administration, fundraising, mentoring, and practical support for individuals accessing our services.
We value diversity and believe volunteering should be a meaningful and rewarding experience for everyone involved. Volunteers at Migrant Haven have opportunities to develop new skills, build confidence, gain valuable experience, and make a positive impact within their local community.
We provide guidance, support, and an inclusive environment where volunteers are respected, appreciated, and encouraged to grow personally and professionally.

Migrant Haven is committed to providing a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for young volunteers. We have adapted volunteering opportunities to ensure they are suitable, meaningful, and age-appropriate for under 18s.
Young volunteers will be given clear guidance, supervision, and ongoing support throughout their volunteering experience. Tasks will be tailored to their age, skills, interests, and level of experience, with a focus on learning, confidence-building, teamwork, and personal development.
Where appropriate, volunteers under 18 will not be placed in roles involving sensitive casework or unsupervised contact with vulnerable individuals. We also ensure that safeguarding policies, risk assessments, and health and safety procedures are in place to protect young people while volunteering with us.
Our aim is to create positive opportunities for young people to gain experience, develop new skills, contribute to their community, and grow in a welcoming and encouraging environment.
