Keen to Work With Us?

Body Buddies' ran a first-ever volunteership opportunity in 2023. Though it received massive amounts of support, with the current economy, we recognise that volunteering opportunities should be converted into paid internships where young people can have a strong impact in our organisation and be compensated for their wonderful work too! (p.s. we know student debt & burden is real *sigh*). So for now, our internship program is currently on hold.

Since we are a small but expanding business, we hope to have more paid opportunities to work with us as we grow!

We do, however, recognise that we have an incredible platform for young people to share their story, upskill in a fun working-environment & champion health-awareness missions they believe in.

So if you are keen to work with us, hear about opportunities or you want to pitch a collaborative project idea to Body Buddies, fill out the form below! When positions are made available, we will give priority to those who have already expressed interest.
