Summary
We are looking for a volunteer to coordinate our Communication and Marketing and help us build awareness about our work, in the Netherlands and abroad.Detailed description
If you’re seeking an opportunity to play a part in the development of affordable education, women entrepreneurship and microloans in Liberia, we’d love to hear from you!
We are looking for a committed and passionate volunteer to coordinate our communication and marketing initiatives. The role will involve:
- Reviewing our current communication policies and (social) media channels and refining them to ensure a clear communication policy and strategy for the organisation. This may mean that you create a new, more cohesive communication strategy for us.
- Working with our website development volunteer (we are currently recruiting for this role) to rewrite all texts and update the photos on our website, ensuring clarity, consistency, and alignment with our mission and values.
- Coordinating with our social media volunteers and newsletter writer to ensure cohesive messaging across all platforms.
- Ensuring that we regularly publish regular news updates on our website.
- Drafting our annual report and disseminating this across our various channels.
- Helping to expand our reach and impact and attract new supporters.
- It would be fantastic - but not a requirement - if you were also interested in helping to remotely build the communication & marketing capacity of our team member in Liberia.
Our ideal candidate will have several years of work experience and a background in communication or marketing, strong communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work collaboratively in an international, remote environment.
You'll be proactive with a strong sense of initiative and passionate about supporting people in countries where opportunities are few and challenges are many.
Ideally, you'll be fluent in both English and Dutch, though we do also have volunteers who only speak English.
This is a part-time volunteer position with flexible hours. We'd prefer it if you could offer a 6-month minimum commitment.
Your outreach will help to not only help bring in support for transformative projects in Liberia, but also help to build a community of people in the Netherlands, Liberia and (currently) two other countries – an immensely rewarding experience.
You’ll also gain insight into the workings of a small-scale NGO and the role of communications and marketing in our work and be a part of our exciting core team.
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 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.
