Be part of a small, active international organization that is doing big things, a unique program combining the service of a nonprofit with the entrepreneurship of a small business. Art Aids Art promotes education, wellbeing and sustainable economic development, working primarily with South African women and children impacted by poverty and/or HIV/AIDS. We are the first American organization to open an art & education center in South Africa's largest township, Khayelitsha. For more information, visit www.artaidsart.org.
Art Aids Art seeks a Google Docs volunteer to create online documents that will assist our team in South Africa to schedule their days and document their progress. The most pressing needs are 1.) to create an online Calendar where staff can post their plans for the day in order to coordinate workflow, and 2.) to create online work checklists that will allow staff to document their daily activities and productivity.
Proficiency with spreadsheets or something comparable will be necessary.

Mission Statement
Art Aids Art, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, promotes education and sustainable economic development through the arts.
Description
Founded in 2003 by educators and human service professionals, Art Aids Art serves South African women and children through programs in impoverished townships surrounding Cape Town. With our U.S. office based in Altadena, California, Art Aids Art's American activities focus on educating the public about South African culture and the HIV/AIDS crisis through presentations at schools, community centers and private home gatherings. Each year, the organization leads an intergenerational group of volunteers to Cape Town, home of our South African headquarters, to provide services through our own programs and in collaboration with participating South African organizations. In addition, Art Aids Art stimulates economic opportunity for South African artist collectives, purchasing artwork at Fair Trade prices and exhibiting it in the United States. Income from American art sales is reinvested into our projects in Cape Town. In this regard, working with Art Aids Art provides a unique experience of working with a nonprofit that also works like a small business. VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES: Because of our small size and wide range of activities, we offer a wide variety of activities for volunteers, including: -staffing our public events, including interacting with the public, setting up displays, and providing information about our programs. -assisting us with a variety of art documentation, including: digital photo editing and graphic design, review and data entry of storytelling interviews, organization of photographs and art materials, assisting with intake and inventorying of handcrafts from Africa, etc.
