Save to Favorites

Position
We are seeking enthusiastic professionals and students who are passionate about the power of education. We are building a fresh volunteer team for the U.S. Chapter of Aiducation International and we welcome new volunteers from across the country to join us. Since we are a global organization, you can drive impact from home by joining volunteer meetings and leading work online. Our organization has 100+ volunteers globally and we need to rebuild the U.S. presence. You can apply to lead the team as a 12 month committed role (see separate posting) or apply to become a general volunteer using this job posting.

Aiducation International is an efficiently run charity because we focus on education and we have leveraged professionals as volunteers since our founding in Kenya, in 2007. Around the globe, we are run by an impressive network of professionals, some having worked for free with Aiducation since the beginning in 2007 and some volunteer as new recruits. Most impressive of all, our Kenyan Chapter is now run by volunteers who at one point received one of our high school scholarships!

Expectations for new volunteers
As a U.S. Chapter for 2023, we will aim to fundraise five new scholarships for up to $18k and gain new corporate partnerships.
