As an all volunteer organization we could use all the help we could get. If you are interested in any of the positions below please contact us at Board@believeinbelize.org. The level of experience is not as critical as your willingness to learn and actively participate. Multiple volunteers per position would be ideal. Feel free to suggest another position you would like to create and volunteer for. Almost all of our positions can be performed from where you live. However, each volunteer needs to make sure they satisfy the work permit requirements in their local jurisdiction (as applicable).
