About Victory Afghanistan
Victory Afghanistan is a Chicago-registered nonprofit dedicated to providing education and mentorship to Afghan girls and young women who have been banned from attending school. We currently support over 800 students through six levels of English instruction and three mentoring pathways:
-
Online Higher Education – Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees through remote universities.
-
Offline Higher Education – Scholarships and sponsorships abroad.
-
Online Work & Internships – Virtual career and internship opportunities.
Our mission is to help these students rebuild their futures through learning, connection, and courage.
About the Role
We are now recruiting a Volunteer Higher Education Pathway Manager to lead and expand our Online Higher Education stream. This is a volunteer leadership position that requires drive, moxie, ambition, and daring, a chance to test your skills and your character while doing something that truly matters.
You’ll step into an existing structure with full guidance from the previous manager, so you won’t be starting from zero. Your goal will be to identify and secure online higher education opportunities for Afghan women who cannot leave the country, whether through university partnerships, scholarships, sponsorships, or donated course placements.
You’ll also guide 3 Project Coordinators (who are students in our academy) and work closely with the Operations Manager to help deliver tangible outcomes.
This is a role for someone who gets things done. It’s fine if you make mistakes, what matters is consistency, initiative, and a willingness to keep pushing forward. We’re looking for someone who thrives under responsibility and believes in turning ideas into action.
Key Responsibilities
-
Build partnerships with universities, organisations, and institutions offering online higher education opportunities.
-
Identify and coordinate scholarship, sponsorship, or course placement options for students.
-
Lead and mentor three Project Coordinators who support the Pathway Programme.
-
Work collaboratively with the Operations Manager and other 2 Pathway Managers to achieve shared targets for 2026.
Why This Role Matters
This role is part of our mission to secure opportunities for Afghan women by September 2026. We are working towards:
-
Enrolling several students in Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees online,
-
Securing scholarships and sponsorships for higher education placements abroad, and
-
Helping more students access paid remote work and internships.
So far, one of our students has earned a scholarship to study abroad, and we aim to make this just the beginning.
This is a genuine leadership challenge. You’ll be part of a global, fast-moving team where energy and initiative matter more than titles. If you’ve got the drive, this is your chance to prove what you can do.
You must have a background in higher education, international development, or partnerships. Applicants should be based in the United Kingdom or United States for time-zone alignment and be available through September 2026. We will only be contacting applicants whose profiles show genuine potential for this leadership role.

Help shape the future of Carers Trust Solihull.
We’re seeking a new Trustee Treasurer,a sharp financial mind with a steady hand and a big heart, to guide our charity through its next chapter. You’ll ensure every pound works harder for unpaid carers who give so much, often with little rest or recognition.
For over 25 years, Carers Trust Solihull has supported thousands of people caring for loved ones, spouses, parents, siblings, even children, who look after someone who couldn’t manage without them. As demand grows and funding tightens, your financial leadership will be vital to sustaining and expanding this lifeline.
You’ll join a skilled, compassionate Board, working closely with our CEO and managers to oversee budgets, shape strategy, and strengthen long-term stability. You’ll turn numbers into insight, helping the Board make confident, evidence-based decisions about growth, reserves, and sustainability.
This is more than governance, it’s legacy. Your work will help deliver respite breaks, wellbeing sessions, and community outreach to those who need them most. You’ll be central to how we evolve, diversify income, and explore new opportunities, including the use of Artificial Intelligence to improve our efficiency and reach.
We’re looking for someone who combines financial acumen with empathy and integrity, a professional who can interpret data, assess risk, and communicate clearly. A formal accounting qualification is helpful but not essential. What matters most is a strategic mind and a commitment to using your expertise for good.
If you’re ready to make your skills count, not just on a balance sheet, but in real lives changed, we’d love to hear from you.

Fundraising advisors wanted to support East London Waterworks Park in developing and implementing our fundraising strategy.
East London Waterworks Park is a volunteer-led charity that has won a 2024 New London Architecture award and raised £2m towards buying land from the Department for Education to transform the 14-acre Thames Water Depot on Lea Bridge Road on the border of Waltham Forest and Hackney, into a new biodiverse park with natural swimming ponds, forest schools and community spaces.
If you are a professional fundraiser and would like to help but are short on time, we would love to hear from you even if you are unable to get deeply involved. We would appreciate one-off or ongoing advice on the phone, online or in person. We would welcome feedback on our fundraising strategy and past applications, any advice about trust and grant fundraising, and any other advice you can give.
The Fundraising Circle currently meets fortnightly on a Thursday evening on Google Meet and spends voluntary time outside of the meeting completing agreed tasks remotely. We understand that people may not have a lot of time to give, so we want to find volunteers who could give us one-off or ongoing strategic advice and support.
If you have experience in funding strategy, writing grants for funding applications, corporate fundraising, philanthropy, or any other aspect of fundraising, it would be great to hear from you.
East London Waterworks Park is an exciting and ambitious project that offers many rewarding opportunities for our volunteers. You will have a significant impact on the creation of a new biodiverse community-owned park with free access natural swimming ponds and forest schools.
By leading fundraising projects that explore how diverse professionals (architects, ecologists, web developers, community researchers etc.) collaborate to shape community infrastructure, volunteers will directly contribute to the development of a park that truly reflects the needs and desires of the local community.
Without funding we won’t be able to make it happen. Your input will help us craft experiences that inspire, educate, and engage our service users, stakeholders, funders, and the general public, ultimately driving support for the park's mission and ensuring its long-term sustainability. So you will be directly contributing to the creation of a new biodiverse community-owned park with free access natural swimming ponds.
