If you have not been involved with PBI before, unfortunately it is unlikely we would have the capacity to support you in the creation of a new country group. Please try to volunteer with PBI first in order to learn about the organisation.

If you are a former PBI volunteer, please write to us at admin@peacebrigades.org for more information and help to set up a country/associate group.

Please contact your local country group or field project with specific proposals for collaboration. Unfortunately, PBI is generally not able to consider partnerships in countries where we do not currently operate

Please note that we are not a funding organization and are generally not able to provide grants or financial support to other organizations. While we empathise with every individual and organisation that works for the respect of human rights, all the funds that we raise are to support our own projects and infrastructure.

For human rights defenders seeking funding or other emergency support, we suggest you contact protectdefenders.eu. Through ProtectDefenders, PBI is able to provide a limited amount of support directly to HRDs in countries where we work. You can find more information on our website about this program.

All international jobs are advertised on our website: https://www.peacebrigades.org/en/jobs-with-pbi and through our social media accounts.

Although we work with many documents in English and Spanish and translation is often needed, at this time we do not have any particular request for our pool of Volunteer translators. We therefore invite you to stay in touch and renew your proposal in future, whether you should be available and keen on helping PBI with translations.

The International Office does not send out newsletters, but different PBI entities do. You can stay informed of PBI’s work by visiting us on the web at www.peacebrigades.org or following us on facebook, instagram, twitter and linkedin.

The International Office and country groups sometimes have opportunities for volunteering in their offices or supporting their work in other ways. Please contact your local country group directly to find out about available volunteer opportunities.

Opportunities to volunteer with the international office are always published on our website https://www.peacebrigades.org/en/jobs-with-pbi and social media accounts. Unfortunately, we are unable to consider unsolicited volunteer applications.

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.

To find out more about volunteering with PBI, please see http://www.peacebrigades.org/get-involved/volunteer-field/ for comprehensive information.
