Volunteer
Put your time and skills to work for peace.
Join MAPA’s Volunteer Corps or help with organizing, communications, events, legislative work, fundraising, and office support.
Volunteer Corps
Join the people who keep MAPA’s work moving.
MAPA’s Volunteer Corps is for members and supporters who want to be more actively involved in hands-on peace work.
Joining does not commit you to a specific task. It lets MAPA know that you are interested in helping more actively when opportunities come up.
