The initiative invites volunteers from all around the world to contribute their expertise in areas such as communications, marketing, project management, digital marketing, executive assistance, and translation.
The volunteer positions, which are remote and unpaid, are designed to enhance the Church’s visibility and outreach across Africa.
Volunteers will play an integral role in advancing SECAM’s mission by contributing to social and community development initiatives, building collaboration among dioceses, and supporting key projects that make a tangible difference in local communities.
The positions available include:

The deadline for applications is February 30, 2025.
