Overview
Volunteer Trustee with marketing experience to join board of Rwandan education charity – Children of Rwanda.
We are looking for a new Trustee with experience in communications and digital strategy to help strengthen outreach, storytelling, and online presence, and to spread the word about our work.
What difference will you make?
Storytelling and communication should come from the people closest to the projects. By transferring this power to our Rwandan team, we help ensure authentic and equitable representation. Building in-country marketing capability is a key part of making our NGO more community-led and self-sufficient. By helping us achieve this localisation milestone, you’ll contribute to a more equitable, community-led model of international development and amplify the voices of our Rwandan team and the communities we serve.
What are we looking for?
We’re seeking a motivated and collaborative marketing professional with experience in digital content, social media, or nonprofit marketing. You should be excited about mentoring others and open to working across cultures. Experience training or supporting others in a marketing role would be a huge bonus.
What will you be doing?
As part of our localisation strategy, we want to build up communications capacity within our team in Rwanda. The goal is for the team to independently share impact, engage supporters, and manage digital channels without heavy reliance on UK-based volunteers. You would mentor and co-manage a junior staff member based in Rwanda, helping them create strong, authentic, and locally driven digital content. You’ll also join the UK Board of Trustees and contribute to our strategic direction, advising the board on growing our audience and enhancing supporter engagement through social media, newsletters, and our website.
