Join to apply for the Website Developer - Volunteer role at Mirembe Education Foundation.
Volunteer Website Developer – Help us build and maintain a user‑friendly, engaging website to support our mission. Work remotely, apply your web development skills, and make a meaningful impact. Flexible hours, supportive team, and recognition for your contributions included.
What difference will you make?
The Volunteer Website Developer will play a vital role in helping our organisation reach and engage more people effectively. A well‑designed, up‑to‑date website allows us to clearly communicate our mission, showcase our projects, and provide resources to the communities we serve. By improving usability, accessibility, and overall functionality, the volunteer will make it easier for supporters, donors, and beneficiaries to connect with us and take action.
Their work will directly support fundraising, community outreach, and awareness‑raising efforts by ensuring our website is a reliable and professional hub for information. Every update, improvement, or new feature will enhance how we present our programmes, attract volunteers, and encourage participation in our initiatives.
Beyond technical contributions, the volunteer will help strengthen our organisational capacity by enabling staff to focus more on programmes and less on website issues. Their involvement will leave a lasting impact on a website that accurately reflects our values, supports our growth, and helps us expand our reach to those who need our services most.
In short, this role allows a volunteer to make a tangible difference, ensuring that our online presence effectively supports our mission and amplifies our impact in the community.
What are we looking for?
We’re seeking a proactive, creative, and committed volunteer website developer who wants to make a real difference. You should have experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and CMS platforms like WordPress or Wix, along with an eye for design, usability, and user experience.
You’ll be confident troubleshooting issues, suggesting improvements, and implementing changes independently while collaborating with our small team. Strong communication skills, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn new tools are essential.
Previous nonprofit experience is a bonus but not required—what matters most is enthusiasm, reliability, and a desire to use your skills to support a meaningful cause. Your contributions will directly help our organisation connect with the community, showcase our work, and amplify our impact.
