Volunteer in EWB-DK

Volunteers play an important role at Engineers Without Borders - Denmark, contributing knowledge and relevant competences to our projects - in close collaboration with our advisors at the secretariat and partners in Denmark and the Global South.

 

 

 

As the core of EWB-DK is our volunteers, we always welcome new members. If you would like to be active and contribute to the organisation you are welcome to contact the secretariat to inquire about the possibilities info@iug.dk

 


 

 

 

We will introduce you to IUG’s history, projects, and efforts. You will learn more about how you can be a volunteer, and you can reconcile your expectations with our platform.

 

We currently have no scheduled information sessions for new volunteers, but refer to our volunteer vacancies portal.

If you wish to engage in EWB-DK, you can register your CV in the competencies database and look for knowledge about the projects in the projects database.

In this way, the project groups and other volunteers can easily find the right people when they need some special skills for a given project or a limited task.

An IUG mail account is a must. With this, you can access our joint drives and communicate with other IUG members.

Our volunteers are organized in thematic networks, and this is where the real work is done. In the thematic networks, our projects arise and develop based on idea generation and professional sparring between the technical professionals.

Pick the network that fits your interests and competencies. Join meetings, learn about projects under development and implementation, and contribute with your competencies wherever you want to join.

Contact the secretariat if you have questions or wish to become part of one of our thematic networks: info@iug.dk 

 
Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) Sustainable Energy Waste Management  Information, Communication & Technology (ICT) Building and
Construction
 

 

We are regularly looking for volunteers for specific tasks that will contribute to the organisation's work.

If you want to be an active member of EWB-DK, you must join a tool training where you will learn about EWB-DK’s working processes and universe.

 

 

EWB-DK is for everyone interested in technical, humanitarian work, and the professional backgrounds range widely. Whether you are a student, out of a job, in a job, or retired is unimportant. The important thing is that you want to engage.

There are many ways to volunteer at EWB-DK:

Project related: Join a project – all EWB-DK’s project groups are open, but you must be curious to become a part of the group. You will join via the thematic network. 

Bring your competencies into play: If you are a part of a thematic network, you must share your knowledge and contribute with solutions.
