Volunteering with “Open Doors”
Open Doors is a non-profit organisation that offers help to immigrants and refugees as they settle into life in a new country. We rely on volunteers to make our programs successful. Below are some of the volunteering roles we offer.
1. Welcome Volunteer
Welcome Volunteers are the first friendly faces our new clients see. They greet newcomers, assist with form-filling, provide language support where possible, and help clients find the services they need.

2. Family Support Assistant
Family Support Assistants help immigrant families adjust to life in a new place. This includes arranging playgroups for young children, helping parents find local schools, and offering emotional support.
3. English Conversation Partner
This role is ideal for those who enjoy casual conversation and helping others practise English. No teaching qualification is necessary, but consistency and patience are important.
