Support an organisation empowering and upskilling young people in Africa ��

Africa Matters Initiative works to provide young people in Africa with skills and knowledge to lead civic engagement and community-organised activities. Africa is the youngest continent in the world, with over 70% of the population being under 30. Some experts predict that the population of Sub-Saharan Africa will double by 2050. The unemployment rate is 2x that of adults, we see young people being forced to join the informal labour market/economy. They are working towards closing the skills gap affecting younger generations of Africans. Through a holistic approach to empowerment, their flagship programs integrate leadership and social entrepreneurship training with community-building initiatives to conceptualise and implement solutions that directly address social issues and foster income transformation in their communities.

Graphic Designer

Africa Matters Initiative (AMI) is seeking a skilled volunteer designer to support the creation of a new brand banner that reflects our mission, values, and impact. AMI is a youth-led organization operating across 23 African countries, empowering young people who face systemic barriers through leadership development, social entrepreneurship, and advocacy.

This short-term, project-based opportunity is ideal for a graphic designer or creative professional who enjoys translating mission-driven work into strong, visually compelling assets. The volunteer will work closely with AMI’s team to design one primary banner that can be adapted for use across our digital platforms, including our website, email marketing, and social media channels.

Responsibilities include reviewing AMI’s brand materials and visual identity, understanding the purpose and audience for the banner, and designing a clean, impactful banner that aligns with our existing branding while elevating our visual presence. The volunteer may also provide guidance on best practices for resizing or adapting the banner for different platforms.
Ideal candidates have experience in graphic or visual design, are comfortable working with brand guidelines, and can deliver polished, high-quality design assets within a defined timeframe. Experience designing for nonprofits, social impact organizations, or digital campaigns is a plus but not required.

Social Friday reinvents the end of the workweek by transforming unproductive Friday hours into a global tradition of purpose, teamwork, and impact—connecting businesses, nonprofits, and communities through hands-on engagement.

Fridays are the least productive time of the week. Work slows down, focus fades, and hours are lost. Social Friday isn’t just a project—it’s a movement. A global tradition in the making that transforms the least productive hours of the week into moments of connection, impact, and purpose, where doing good becomes a habit. Beyond one-time events, Social Friday is designed to scale into a lasting global movement, embedding social impact into work culture and everyday life.

How It Works

A scalable platform connects businesses, NGOs, and volunteers, transforming Fridays into a global force for change through engagement, collaboration, and gamification. By integrating leaderboards, challenges, badges, and rewards, Social Friday keeps participation exciting and fosters a culture where social impact becomes part of the routine.

This isn’t just about reducing disengagement. It is about transforming the way society, nonprofits, and businesses connect, creating a future where social impact is a shared responsibility, embedded into everyday life. Social Friday has the power to turn the least productive time of the week into the most meaningful, a global tradition, the Olympics of Giving Back.

Volunteer for an organisation empowering Tanzanian women and youth through sustainable farming ��

HERVEG.05
We help women and youth farmers grow nutritious food, raise poultry, and increase income sustainably.

HERVEG.05 addresses the critical issues of malnutrition, food insecurity, and poverty in Tanzania, which ranks among the top 15 countries globally for child stunting. Smallholder farmers, who produce the majority of the country's food, frequently lack the training and tools necessary to overcome poor soil fertility and climate-driven challenges. This creates a devastating cycle of low productivity and worsening hunger that permanently affects the development of millions of children.

The solution is a practical, climate-smart pathway designed for rural realities. HERVEG.05 utilizes a "Mobile layaway" system allowing farmers to purchase seeds and poultry inputs incrementally via phone. Their model includes hands-on training and last-mile delivery of inputs directly to remote village groups. By providing "Nutri-Reach Bundles"—which combine poultry, biofortified maize, and vegetables—the startup creates a circular economy. Poultry manure improves soil, biofortified crops fight malnutrition, and improved storage reduces waste. This integrated system builds resilience against climate change while simultaneously boosting family income and health.

Communication & Storytelling Officer

If you love writing, experimenting, and telling stories that actually mean something, keep reading.

We’re looking for a Communication & Storytelling Officer to manage our LinkedIn and Instagram and bring our work to life. You’ll turn real moments from women and youth farmers, field work, and impact into content people want to stop and read.
This role is for someone who:

• Loves writing clear, human, modern content (no corporate boring stuff).
• Enjoys trying new formats, angles, and ideas, then learning what works.
• Knows how to tell a story, not just post updates.
• Can run our LinkedIn & Instagram with consistency and creativity.
• Truly aligns with our work, food systems, nutrition, climate-smart farming, and real impact for rural communities.

You should care about why we exist, not just what we post. If our mission excites you, your writing will show it. If you believe stories can change how people see farmers, food, and climate, this is your space.

Short. Real. Creative. Impact-driven.

Minimum Hours per Week:

4-6 hours per week
