KeelWorks is a 501c3 charitiable foundation with a mission to get people to work - especially the economically disadvantaged. We have two active programs and one in development. The KeelWings program supports student trasition to employment. The KeelMate program helps the experienced transition from an unsustaining field to another. The KeelMaster program is our most ambitious project: it will get the most challenged unemployed to gainful employment. The KeelMaster program requires significant software development.
We need individuals skilled in visual representation. For our website, we need visuals that illustrate the problem we address poverty caused by poor employment (unemployment, underemployment, unskilled employment). Our courses need visual metaphors to support the abstract concepts. Volunteers can participate in small doses or take ownership on projects. The benefit to KeelWorks is substantial. The benefit to volunteers is often the ability to add a successful project to their resume. Budding graphic artists need to show employers how they can employ their talent to address practical challenges.
Projects
The incumbent will pick small tasks they feel comfortable handling from the many needs. There are many challenges, some of which list below.
- Help create or select visuals that stimulate empathy for those struggling to reach sustaining employment.
- Help with developing visuals to support courses like critical thinking, communication, self-identity, and assertiveness.
- Visuals to support social media messaging.
- Some think our logo needs "modernizing" (The name KeelWorks refers to the effort to build a basis for better wages).

Description
KeelWorks is a 501c3 foundation. Since 2008 hundreds of graduate students and unemployed workers, reached gainful employment while helping KeelWorks build structure for change. We want to end poverty across the world, changing one life at a time. The KeelWings program for recent students and the KeelMate program for transitioning workers apply their learning while gaining experience supporting the KeelMaster program development. This experience reflected in a competent resume - with our guidance - qualifies them as a credible job applicant. The KeelMaster program is designed to support employment for the more challenged unemployed. This program begins with barrier identification and mitigation, assigns participants facilitated teams where they learn core competencies, ending with goal determination. They access training, and while doing so, join paid internships. Mutual support, core competencies, application, and clear and objective progress metrics support measured results. This structure for change will be replicated over and over across the globe. While other programs give the needy fish, we teach teach them to fish.
