As a volunteer based organization, IKAA has traditionally asked for volunteers from the IKAA network organizations. As we embrace a more digitally connected age, we are looking to expand the team more broadly to those who believe in and want to support IKAA’s vision and mission. We are looking for passionate, creative, and collaborative humans to help IKAA better serve the adoptee community.
If you would like to apply to any of the roles (see below), please fill out the Volunteer Form. Volunteers should expect to commit about 4 hours per week to volunteer activities / duties. Previous experience volunteering in the adoptee community is helpful, but is not required. All new volunteers will be assisted by our Volunteer Coordinator to help you onboard and get started.
