Content teams turned our stories into posts seen around the world. Join our international community. Whatever your skills, you can help us build hope through sport and storytelling.

FAQ:

We match your hours to the kind of role you take on.

  • Specialist Support (graphic design, legal review, merch-stall shifts) runs on flexible, task-based blocks—you pick up a brief, deliver, and you’re done. Perfect if your schedule changes week to week.

  • Coordination & Leadership (event organising, partnerships, team leads) needs steady continuity—regular check-ins, progress tracking, and a predictable weekly commitment so projects stay on course.

Tell us which track fits you right now, and we’ll slot you into responsibilities that make sense.

Yes. Roughly 80 % of the Sunbirds volunteer team works from home across five continents. We stay connected through Slack, Google Drive, and weekly Zoom check-ins, so all you need is a laptop or tablet and a reliable internet connection.

No. Day-to-day communication is in English. Arabic—and any other language—is a bonus for translation, subtitling, or local outreach, but plenty of roles (design, fundraising, editing, research) don’t require it.

TRAIN NEW SKILLs

5 years of delivery
Since 2020 we’ve logged five consecutive years of aid runs, sports programmes, and global campaigns—through war, siege, and displacement. That track record means trusted local networks, refined logistics, and the know-how to keep delivering when larger agencies stall.
video reporting
Every aid run is filmed end-to-end, from loading the truck to the hand-offs, so supporters can see precisely where their contributions go. We edit and share these clips within days, tagging donors and partners to celebrate our shared achievements and provide transparent, verifiable proof that the work on screen matches the pledges we make.
price concious
Getting money into Gaza is hard; maximising its impact is non-negotiable. Our field team scouts prices daily. With local connections and price comparisons, we lock in fair pricing to deliver services to the widest number of people possible.  
tripple audited
We are tripple audited by our local partners in Gaza, by our international team and by our International Charity Partners. Our funds are held with AMOS Trust for specific purposes. This means the money you send in for aid gets used for aid, and the money you send in for our other activities are held on the side too. Your money will definitely make it to Gaza, every month we are able to expand on the amount of services we are providing people.
impact focused
Aid is paired with story. Each food box or water tank we deliver is photographed or filmed with the family’s consent; the 60-second stories that follow have generated 3 million+ views and a wave of repeat donations. By linking needs to human faces, we transform one-off gifts into sustained community support.
5 years of delivery
Since 2020 we’ve logged five consecutive years of aid runs, sports programmes, and global campaigns—through war, siege, and displacement. That track record means trusted local networks, refined logistics, and the know-how to keep delivering when larger agencies stall.
Disability lead
Athletes with disabilities aren’t just beneficiaries here—they’re part of our leadership. From programme design to our teams long term vision, people with disabilities help shape every decision, proving that those most affected by violence and exclusion are best placed to drive bold, inclusive solutions. 
Community Run
The Sunbirds are a grassroots collective, led by Palestinians on the ground and in the diaspora. We make decisions close to the communities we serve, cutting out costly bureaucracy and ensuring that resources move quickly from donors to frontline action.

Athletes, team staff, and local volunteers manage every delivery route and training session. Our field team lives inside the camps we serve, so aid lists come from neighbours. Distributed  with a team structure, we move faster than large INGOs, intervening to support our community through a diverse range of interventions.
