Marketing & Graphic Design Volunteer
We’re seeking a creative, self-directed volunteer who loves visual storytelling and wants to use their design skills to support a mission-driven organization. This role is perfect for a recently retired or semi-retired designer, or a currently working creative who enjoys meaningful, flexible volunteer work about 1-4 hours a week or on a project basis.
You’ll help shape the look and feel of our outreach by designing print and digital materials for general marketing, event and fundraising campaigns. Projects to include toolkits, flyers, banners, T-shirt designs, and an 8–12 page booklet mailer. You’ll adapt existing stories into fresh visuals, develop new royalty-free content, and maintain brand consistency. If you enjoy social media, there’s also room to create templates and content for our platforms for a cohesive campaign feel (see role below).
We’re looking for someone with experience in Canva, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, or similar tools, and who brings strong layout and typography skills. Creativity, initiative, and the ability to work independently are essential.
This is a flexible commitment through December 2026 with occasional virtual check-ins.
