Volunteer IT Support Position

Save to Favorites

We are looking for a volunteer with back-end and/or front-end web application experience to work with the Help Center’s senior IT person to develop and maintain both internal and public-facing websites and applications to develop its peer-support services.

This volunteer position will work closely with the Help Center leadership to develop and support web applications to support remote volunteers answering calls, online-chats, group chats, and text messaging services, using a php, MySQL, and apache server backend and javascript front-end that integrate Twilio API’s for communication services.

The volunteer position also will develop a new version of the Help Center’s LGBTNearMe.org website and service, providing access to LGBT resources across the country.

This new volunteer position has the option of taking as much or as little of the above functions as desirable.

About us:
The LGBT National Help Center provides peer-support and resource information for the LGBTQIA+ community. The Help Center operates three national hotlines, one-on-one online chat services, multiple moderated weekly chat group sessions for LGBT youth, as well as responding to direct emails from individuals. The LGBT National Help Center also maintains a database of over 17,000 local LGBT resources.

We are a small organization doing a very big job, and rely almost entirely on volunteers!
