Summary

Mineke Foundation is looking for an enthusiastic volunteer who can support a team of teachers with the continued development of arts and crafts curricula.

Detailed description

Mineke Foundation is looking for an enthusiastic volunteer who can support a team of teachers with the continued development of arts and crafts curricula for grades preschool-high school Damiefa School in Dabwe Town, Liberia.


Ideally, we are looking for a volunteer who is physically located in the Netherlands because that is where the other volunteers are located who are working on this project. Willing to consider online collaboration, as well.

Looking for volunteers who can commit to 4-8 hours of volunteer work a month to generate step-by-step arts and crafts lesson plans in clear, simple, global English that will connect well with school children and teachers in Liberia. You must be willing to transfer / translate ideas from other curricula or online resources into written documents with step-by-step pictures to facilitate understanding. This is due to the lack of reliable internet in the area of the school and a lack of art education for teachers in Liberia.

Volunteers ideally also have teaching experience with young children including arts and crafts, language arts, curriculum development and/or drawing. Experience or willingness to work with a school with a lot of enthusiasm for arts and crafts but fewer material resources than many schools in other parts of the world. This impacts the types of lessons that will connect well and be feasible for the school.

Background with / connection to Liberia would be extremely welcome.

About Mineke Foundation

Mineke Foundation works in Liberia. Our goal is to help people - especially young people and women - to become economically self-reliant. We focus on education and entrepreneurship. We have three projects:

== The Damiefa School offers affordable private education from kindergarten through the first grades of high school. We use the national Liberian curriculum, supplemented with an Art Education program developed by Dutch/American teachers and a Reading Comprehension program specifically developed for Liberia by American teachers. Our ambition is to grow the school into a full-fledged high school.

== Our Women’s Club offers an entrepreneurship program and a social education program. The entrepreneurship program includes short courses, business training & coaching, and micro loans. The educational program offers monthly workshops on topics such as (reproductive) health, women’s rights, leadership and sexual violence against women. There is also a savings club with peer-to-peer lending.

== The Resource Center is a multifunctional space with a small library/computer room where employability training for young people is also given. Before Covid, we also offered digital skills training to surrounding schools and (young) adults from the area. We will offer this again in due course.

Mineke Foundation is an award-winning foundation known for its quality and professionalism. We are an accredited local Liberian NGO, vocational school and private (primary) school. A small, committed and motivated local team carries out our projects in Liberia.

The Dutch foundation consists of international volunteers and supports our team in Liberia, including fundraising, social media & communication and knowledge transfer. There is regular contact between the teams.

Our fun and enthusiastic volunteers will make you feel at home quickly! We all work from home and have regular Zoom calls, also with our team in Liberia. Volunteers who live in the Netherlands usually meet twice a year. Good to know: we speak both Dutch and English, but usually speak English during calls & meetings.

Mineke Foundation was founded in 2009 by Tonia Dabwe to build on the work her parents started in Liberia in the late 1960s. The foundation is named after Tonia's Dutch mother who has been missing since the civil war in Liberia.
