Volunteer and work for a fairer world!
Volunteers are the "backbone" of the organisation and as such are highly valued. We have a core of up to 65 volunteers, from a variety of backgrounds carrying out all sorts of tasks within RISC.

Volunteers "come and go", but usually keep in touch, and quite often secure positions based on their work at RISC.
