Knowbility is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to create a more inclusive digital world for people with disabilities. Our goal is to create a barrier-free world of information technology so that people with disabilities can fully participate in the business, educational and cultural marketplace.

We are looking for one or two volunteers to assist us with:

• Reviewing photos from our program and project files (Google)
• Organize and identify images that will be used for future publication, marketing, and fundraising/development purposes
• Correctly identify and categorize quality images
• Identify and possibly delete inferior images
• Properly tag images with qualitative descriptors
• Tags based on our promotional needs
• Experience in photography or digital marketing is greatly appreciated.
• Provide quality Alternative Text for images based on the training provided.
• This is an important step. It provides equal opportunity for individuals who are visually impaired or use screen readers, so they are able to understand what is happening in a given image.
• Properly document all of the above information into a spreadsheet, with descriptions, tags, and image links.
• This information will move to an image storage application at a future date.

Skills Needed:

• Photography or Digital Marketing experience (preferred)
• Ability to identify a quality photograph that is appropriate for marketing and fundraising/development purposes.
