Programme Assistant Positions:

Separate from permanent positions at QUNO, both offices fund annual Programme Assistant positions (PAs). These are aimed at young people who are interested in international affairs and the United Nations, and who have a commitment to Friends (Quaker) principles of peace, nonviolence and equality. For more information about the PA positions please visit the Programme Assistant pages for Geneva and New York.

Voluntary Opportunities:

Due to limited space and staff time at both QUNO offices, we cannot take up any of the kind offers we get for voluntary work. In the United States however, our parent body, the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), does provide opportunities for voluntary and youth work.
