-
Help us raise our profile and build trust through design.
Who We’re Looking For
-
Experience in graphic design (professional or freelance welcome).
-
Strong portfolio showcasing logo and brand work.
-
Passion for mental health, social impact, or community projects.
-
Ability to work collaboratively and respond to feedback.
-
Comfortable with flexible volunteer hours (you will manage your own time).
Why Volunteer with MINDSET?
-
Use your creativity for good—design that makes a difference.
-
Help shape a new charity’s identity from the ground up.
-
Be part of a passionate team working to change lives.
-
Gain exposure and recognition for your work across platforms.
Apply Now

Let’s build a stronger MINDSET—together.
