Contact us, volunteer, or partner with APYCF

We respond to all enquiries within two business days. We’re a small organisation — when you write to APYCF you hear back from a real person, usually programme staff or a board member.

Talk to our team

Write to [email protected] and tell us which of the headings below applies. It reaches the same small team either way, but saying so up front gets you a faster answer.

Everything is read by a person, not a queue. If your question needs documentation we do not have yet, we will tell you that rather than send something that looks like it.

For anything about the journals — submissions, review, editorial policy — write to the editorial office directly, or start at apyr.apycfoundation.org.

Why you might be writing

Volunteer

Anywhere we work

Tell us which city you are in and roughly how much time you have. Most roles are a few hours a week, alongside a local partner organisation.

Partner with us

Local organisations

If you already run work in a community we serve, we would rather fund and staff your programme than start our own alongside it.

Press and due diligence

Funders, journalists

Ask us for whatever documentation you need. If we do not have it yet, we will say so rather than send something that looks like it.
