Internships & Volunteering
- The Society is a not-for-profit organization which welcomes volunteers to help in all areas of its activities.
- We also operate an internship programme, normally lasting three months. This is an opportunity to gain experience in publishing, library work, events, publicity or bookselling. Internships are unpaid, but expenses are covered. As a small, tight-knit organization, there is much scope for vital work experience.
If you are interested in volunteering or interning, please do not hesitate to contact us via nora@swedenborg.org.uk or (020) 7405 7986.
