Storytelling & communication volunteer

Mineke Foundation is looking for a creative and dedicated volunteer to support our storytelling and communication efforts. We think this might require 3 - 4 hours per week.

Basically, we're looking for someone to help us tell the story of our work in Liberia. Here's where things currently stand:

• We don't have a communication strategy in place
• We post on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, but this happens in an ad-hoc way
• We get monthly progress reports from our team in Liberia but don't make good use of these in our communication
• We'd love to write regular (monthly?) short blogs or post updates on our website
• We send out a regular newsletter (4 per year) but think this could be improved

Here's some of what you might write about

• How our microloans programme helps women grow their businesses and increase their income. Resulting in financial security, more stable families, kids going to school and better health overall.
• Our Art Education programme at Damiefa School that builds fine motor skills, creativity and problem solving kids.
• The microbusinesses started by teen moms who've had to drop out of school and that give them a new perspective on life: hope!
• Workshops that we run with the Ministry of Gender to counter gender-based violence
• Toys and puzzles in our Resource Center that kids love so much we have to make them go home at the end of the day

Who will you work with?

You'll work with the following people:

• Our marketing volunteer
• Our Mailchimp volunteer who sends out newsletters
• Our social media person in Liberia
• Our project leads in Liberia
• Other volunteers who also work directly with the project leads

Ideal candidate:

We are looking for a proactive, enthusiastic volunteer with a passion for storytelling, social media, and community development. Experience in copywriting, digital marketing or communications is preferred, along with a genuine interest in supporting education and entrepreneurship in Liberia.

What we offer you:

• Hands-on experience in nonprofit marketing and communications
• The opportunity to make a real impact by supporting economic self-reliance initiatives in Liberia
• A collaborative, friendly and international team dedicated to positive social change
• An enthusiastic and motivated team in Liberia
