YOUR PROFESSIONAL SKILLS:
Can help our Organization grow and save more People:
We believe that every professional can use their time and skills for the benefit of society to make a meaningful contribution in the movement against bride trafficking and the larger issues of marginalization and modern-day slavery from their desk or home. If physical presence in the field isn’t an option for you, you can still volunteer in a meaningful way, via email, Skype and other web-based technologies:
Peer-to-peer – Exchange ideas and work collaboratively with an overseas colleague over email.
E-mentoring – Share skills and experience with us using online tools such as Skype to help build capacity.
Task-based technical assistance – Work off-site on a volunteer project such as a website, business plan, research project, marketing campaign and more....
If you have the enthusiasm to learn, contribute and be a beacon of change through your profession, we would be more than happy to make room for you in the Empower People family!
