There is room to further shape the role and contribute your own ideas and initiatives.
Time commitment
- On average 1-2 hours per week;
- The work can largely be performed independently and from home;
- Regular brief consultations with board members and other volunteers.
What do we offer?
- A meaningful volunteer role with direct societal impact;
- Plenty of room for creativity and your own ideas;
