Volunteering with RICF

RICF is looking for short term volunteers (individuals, church groups, families or groups of friends) who wish to see at first hand the work RICF is doing, in order to become more informed so they can help raise awareness about the work that we do once they get back home. RICF will happily arrange programs for short visits of 1–2 weeks, to include spending time with staff , and the opportunity to visit children in family placements. By offering people the opportunity to become part of the RICF family for a week or two, we hope to improve their understanding about the project to facilitate fundraising.
