Put your skills to work for Liberia

Mineke Foundation’s international volunteer team is one of our greatest strengths. From Amsterdam to Florence to Nairobi to Liberia, talented people give their time and expertise to help us build something that lasts.

 

Who we're looking for

We need people, not just enthusiasm

Our volunteers contribute real professional skills across a wide range of areas. Current and past volunteers include people working in:

  • Communications and marketing
  • Finance and treasury
  • Legal and contracts
  • HR and organisational development
  • IT and web development
  • Art and curriculum development
  • Social media management
  • Translation (Dutch ↔ English)
  • Monitoring and evaluation
  • International partnerships
  • Entrepreneurship development
  • Microloans

Most international volunteer roles are fully remote, based in the Netherlands. Occasional opportunities exist to volunteer directly in Liberia for those with relevant skills and experience.

What volunteering looks like

Flexible, meaningful and real

Our volunteers are not just supporters. They are part of the team. You’ll work alongside Tonia and the rest of the Mineke Foundation community on projects that have a direct impact on the ground in Liberia.

We ask for a consistent commitment. Not necessarily large amounts of time, but reliable involvement so we can plan around you. Most volunteers contribute a few hours per week or month depending on the role.

What you get in return:

  • Meaningful work with measurable impact
  • A warm, international community of like-minded people
  • Direct insight into development work in West Africa

The opportunity to grow skills in a cross-cultural environment.
