How can I get involved or support AWF?

• Volunteer: As a non-profit organisation we constantly seek to involve volunteers from anywhere in the world to work with us through the internet. We would particularly like to hear from people with IT skills such as database design and management and data librarians.

• Intern: We have a history of welcoming interns from Denmark, the UK, USA, Canada, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Syria, Korea and of course Egypt. Our interns raise their own support (either privately or through an organisation), but have the opportunity to utilise our huge archives, meet prominent Egyptian and other Arab community leaders, philosophers, etc. and make a valuable contribution to AWF's work. We would also welcome non-research interns with interests in IT, design and marketing. Find out more here.
