During these uncertain times, how can we help?
See below to access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and to explore our growing directory of COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
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. We believe volunteering should never be stressful, demanding, or one-sided. The volunteer and the organization should both benefit from any interaction or volunteer engagement.
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.
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:
PREFERRED APPLICANTS
TIME COMMITMENT
Preferably one to three week, but you will decide how long you like to volunteer
OTHER REASONS
Serving with YesLiberia will also provide you an excellent opportunity to learn about Liberia’s history and progress. For instance, did you know Liberia is the only African country founded with the help of freed slaves from the USA? Did you know Liberia is the first African country to elect a female president? Sadly, Liberia is also one of only two countries in the world where young people are less educated than their parents. Let’s change this fact together from the comfort of your home!

Our mission is to empower young people through meaningful service learning opportunities in education, healthcare, and technology. We do this through strategic partnerships and learning models to utilize existing youth habits and uphold societal values in the communities we work.
Conviction created YesLiberia. Daily the needs of underprivileged are ignored. We ignore their struggles because it’s easier to deal with the more important things in our lives-- like climbing the corporate ladder and saving money so we don’t become indigent. And some of us ignore their challenges because they bring back unpleasant memories we seek to repress. But disregarding the plight of the underprivileged yields no resolution. Then certain things happen to remind us their struggles exist no matter how hard we try to pretend our needs surpass theirs.
Jallah was convicted by several of those things over a short period of time. The prostitution of children in Thailand reminded him of Liberia. The rape and war in Congo reminded him of Liberia. The genocide in Rwanda reminded him of Liberia. He remembered his underprivileged past--a past where he was seen as less than elite based on his tribal and economic status and where his education came as a gift from the United Methodist Church.
Reminded, he became convicted to act and YesLiberia was founded to educate and help underprivileged Liberians whose plight he intimately understood.
YesLiberia is a 501c3 charity organization recognized by the Internal Revenue Service since July 2009. All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowable by law. YesLiberia is also registered at four government agencies in Liberia.
We'll work with your schedule.
This is a Virtual Opportunity with no fixed address.
