Summary
We are looking for a volunteer to create an attractive new website that showcases our work.Detailed description
If you’re open to supporting the development of affordable education, and women & youth entrepreneurship in Liberia, we’d love to hear from you!
We are looking for a passionate volunteer to create an attractive new website for us. The role will involve:
- Reviewing an existing proposed design for the new website and editing as needed. We're also open to a completely new design!
- Working with our marketing coordinator and our board chair to build the new site. Our website has two versions: English and Dutch
- Working with our marketing coordinator and board chair to add new texts and photos, while ensuring that SEO best practices are followed to improve our online visibility/findability.
- It would be fantastic - but not a requirement - if you were also willing to maintain the new website after it is done, specifically, to ensure regular security/technical updates.
Our ideal candidate will have previous experience developing and building websites, strong communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work collaboratively in an international, remote environment.
You'll be a proactive, solutions-oriented person with a strong sense of initiative.
Ideally, you'll be fluent in both English and Dutch, though we also have volunteers who only speak English.
This is a part-time volunteer position with flexible hours.
Your work will help support transformative projects in Liberia, a country where opportunities are few and challenges are many. You'll also be part of a group of international volunteers who work with our team in Liberia – an immensely rewarding experience.
Interested? We look forward to hearing from you!
What we will provide to volunteers
🤝 Extra supportAbout Mineke Foundation
== The Damiefa School offers affordable private education from kindergarten through the first three years 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 vocational courses, business training & coaching, and microloans. 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 in 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 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. Both teams work closely together.
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 living 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.
