Volunteer

Grassroots International often has a need for volunteers to assist our staff with fundraising tasks, outreach, mailings, clerical work and other office support, for help with events, and as translators. We are a fun, informal environment. We’d love to have you be part of the team.

Contact our volunteer coordinator for more information.

We have two types of volunteer opportunities:

•    Weekly Volunteers
•    Document Translators

Read more about each type of opportunity below.

Weekly Volunteers

Weekly volunteers provide regular support for ongoing tasks and occasional projects. These volunteer opportunities require:
•    A minimum four hour per week commitment
•    Legible writings skills for composing short notes and addressing envelopes to donors
•    Ability to work independently and efficiently at filing, stuffing envelopes and occasional data entry
•    Completion of special projects and tasks determined based on volunteer's skillset

Document Translators

Grassroots has an ongoing need for folks with strong language ability in Portuguese, French and Spanish translate to proposals and reports from our partner organizations in Brazil, Haiti and Mesoamerica. Translators will:

•    Have intermediate to advanced readings skills in the foreign language, and strong English writing skills
•    Work with us independently and electronically, by exchanging documents with us via email
