Answers

Volunteering questions

Ask us something else

Do I need experience to volunteer?

No. We welcome general volunteers alongside professionals. Tell us what you enjoy doing and we will find the right fit.

Can I volunteer remotely?

Yes. Most roles — writing, design, video, IT, social media and research — are remote. Community organising and citizen reporting are local.

Why does volunteering matter to the budget?

The less we spend on hiring talent, the more we can spend reaching Nigerians. Volunteers directly reduce our content and administrative costs.
