Are you looking for easy but meaningful ways to volunteer without spreading yourself too thin? Consider volunteering or interning with us virtually. This is one organization where even busy middle schoolers, high schoolers or college students can gain more knowledge while giving back in a very short time.

Unlike other nonprofit organizations, we like to give potential volunteers easier options to volunteer for any time period (from 7days to even a year). In this role, you will be given all the tools, training, and platform access you need to fundraise easily for a few days. And this does not require any previous experience, except your passion and willingness to help children get access to school in Africa.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU:

Depending on why you choose to volunteer for us, there will be various perks.

• Your work will be seen by everyone who has supported us or work with us.

HOW DOES IT WORK:

We know this is virtual, but we will still provide a staff member who will guide you through each step during your volunteering time with us. When you apply, here are some of the steps we will cover:

• We’ll give you an overview of this role and provide a brief 20mins training
• We’ll develop your fundraising page with your chosen goal. In the past, some volunteers have chosen to raise money to pay tuition for a student in the same class they are in; others chose to fundraise for an entire class, and few chose to fundraise in their family name. You can decide on any goal, and we will be here to help you through that process.
• This is the exciting part. With our help, you will share your page link with family and friends and experience a meaningful feeling when your family, friends, and teachers start supporting your page.
