Volunteer opportunities with Engage Globally

We have a wide variety of online volunteer opportunities available. Examples are described below. Volunteer commitments range from a few hours to as long as you have available. Volunteers receive guidelines via email and access to the projects on Google Drive. Each project is self-contained and can be completed whenever the volunteer has available time. If you are interested in helping, please email us anytime. 

Examples of volunteer projects

• Online Googling  to create resource lists - such as identifying and describing children's books on nature or researching animals and birds. We have many needs in this category. In most cases, ten hours of volunteer time makes a significant contribution to these projects. 
• Creation of contact lists for future outreaches, such as researching environmental clubs at high schools
• Crowd funding and fundraising - we are especially looking for individuals willing to donate their birthdays, conduct one time social media fundraisers, or who are interested in promoting Engage in association with their own projects, such as voluntary donations for yoga classes.
• Creation of short video clips about our projects, using existing photos
• Photo editing 
• English to Spanish translation 
• Graphic design and layouts

Opportunities for younger children, with adult guidance
If you have a younger child who would like to help, we are also in need of a variety of children's art on environmental themes. This art will be used in future environmental education materials and guides. And, we need children to 'test run' and  provide feedback on some of our environmental education activities. 

Engage Globally interns 2020

Ruth Teseyem Tadesse is a recent graduate from Illinois Wesleyan University with a degree in International Studies, with a concentration in Diplomatic Studies, and a Health minor. She has a passion for public health and hopes to further her education to earn her masters in the field. As an Ethiopian, the work that Engage Globally does resonates with her because community led development allows local communities a say in their own development which not only empowers them but also affords them their dignity, which has often not been the case in many aid efforts in the African continent. She is excited to join the team and hopes to make an impact that creates a ripple effect of positivity!
