VOLUNTEER
Given the high number of interested applicants, we are only seeking volunteers who can fill specific roles and have prerequisites and prior work experience in that field or a select few to fill short-term, broad-spectrum office support positions. We ask that you prayerfully consider if you are willing and able to fill one of the following roles. We will update the positions needed to be filled if they become available and add comprehensive job descriptions for these positions.
Finally, we recognize that most potential volunteers are interested in conflict area relief operations. In order to position themselves for relief missions, volunteers are expected to serve in a support capacity at our headquarters and pass the fitness tests so they are fully equipped to serve in the field. Mission opportunities are never guaranteed and are always subject to the discretion of the Operations Department and the needs of the mission leader.
Be advised that all long-term positions require a one year commitment at minimum and must follow a visit to FBR HQ and a three month introductory, probationary period. All positions are based in Southeast Asia unless otherwise noted.
If interested, email info@freeburmarangers.org with the job you'd like to apply for in the subject line.
