Does No More Deaths welcome volunteers of all ages?
We must limit our regular field volunteer opportunities to those 18 years of age or older. (Limited exceptions may be made, on a case-by-case basis, for 16- and 17-year-olds accompanied by a parent/legal guardian or by an adult chaperone that a parent/legal guardian has designated in writing.) This limitation applies only to field volunteers, not to other kinds of visitors and visiting groups. Field volunteers participate in direct humanitarian assistance, medical/legal advocacy, abuse documentation, and water drops. Visitors do not do these things; they may or may not engage in other kinds of service work with us. Field volunteers typically stay in the field for a week or longer, while visitors do not stay in the field overnight. No upper age limit on volunteering is set. However, all our volunteering opportunities are physically demanding, and all prospective volunteers are asked to carefully consider their physical fitness for the work.
