Contact the CNCF Volunteer Coordinator in Vietnam and tell us why you would like to volunteer for The Christina Noble Children's Foundation; including special skills you feel would be beneficial to your application.

STAGE 1

The Volunteer Coordinator will forward you CNCF's 'Volunteer Handbook' and 'Volunteer Application Form'. Please read the Volunteer Handbook carefully and should you wish to proceed with the application, complete and return the 'Application Form' (forwarded by email) to the Volunteer Coordinator. At this stage please indicate how long you are able to volunteer and when you are available to start. The application form is available on our website.

STAGE 2

The volunteer coordinator will request you to forward your most current CV and two professional reference letters.

STAGE 3

An informal interview will be arranged by one of our CNCF's overseas offices (located in your region.) If you are located near to the CNCF overseas office, we ask you to visit the office – otherwise the interview will be arranged by phone/Skype.

STAGE 4

We will request you forward your Police Clearance information to the Volunteer Coordinator. Please note the processing of police clearances/reports can be very timely and the time frame can vary in each country. We therefore advise future volunteers to apply for this document at the earliest possible stage to avoid disappointment should the clearance not come through in time.

Finally, the Volunteer Coordinator will confirm when the application process has been successful. The Volunteer Coordinator and the respective CNCF office will assist you in regard to living in Vietnam and working at CNCF prior to the volunteers departure and arrival in Vietnam. Assistance to volunteers may include; general information or answers to any questions the volunteer has, assistance in arranging accommodation, visa advice, what to bring and/or arranging pick up from the airport.

Please be aware that we do work in partnership with the Vietnamese Government and we are limited to the number of volunteers we have working with us at any one time.

VISAS
All volunteers are responsible for applying for and ensuring that their visas are in date. Working visas are not required.

EXTRA NOTES
You will need to be in a position to support yourself financially for the duration of your stay. Please take into account the cost of accommodation, food, transport and travel insurance. You also need to ensure you have the necessary vaccines and that you are able to cover your own cost for flight tickets, entry visa and police clearance prior to volunteering.

On arrival our volunteers are met by a CNCF representative and they will accompany you to your hotel / guesthouse. All volunteers are provided with an information pack on arrival, which details important information pertaining to their stay and they will be able to orient them in their new role and also to life in Vietnam.

Please note the above regulations are subject to change.

Should you have any further questions please contact Volunteer Coordinator who will be more than happy to assist you with any enquiries you may have.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in The Christina Noble Children's Foundation.
