Answer
Check this list to see if you live in a country which has a Country Group.
- If there is a country group where you live, please contact them to find out how you can get involved. Many groups organise introductory trainings on the philosophy, mandate and principles and the work of PBI which will provide an opportunity to gain a basic understanding of PBI’s work in order to decide whether you would like to move on to joining a team or getting involved in PBI in another way.
- If you live in a place where there is no PBI country group, or if you are interested in volunteering in a specific country, you can contact the office of the project you would like to join directly.
- If you are considering joining a project, please consult with the Project Office about visa restrictions and the ‘Own Country Rule’, which states that individuals cannot volunteer in a PBI project in their own country for reasons of non-partisanship and security.
