How do I volunteer for the FAO?

If you are interested in volunteering for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), there are a few ways to get involved:

  1. Check for current volunteer opportunities: FAO occasionally offers volunteer opportunities for individuals who are interested in contributing their time and skills to support the organization’s work. You can visit the FAO website and look for any current openings in the “Careers” or “Volunteer” section.
  2. Join the United Nations Volunteer program: FAO works closely with the United Nations Volunteer (UNV) program to recruit volunteers to support its programs and initiatives. You can apply to become a UN Volunteer through the UNV website, and indicate your interest in working with FAO.
  3. Contact FAO offices in your country: FAO has offices and field projects in many countries around the world. You can contact the FAO office in your country and inquire about any opportunities for volunteering or supporting their work as a volunteer.

FAO’s volunteer opportunities may be limited and competitive, so it’s a good idea to check for current openings frequently and be prepared to submit a strong application that highlights your relevant skills and experience.
