Educasia also provides pre-service and in-service teacher training and curriculum support, with priority given to non-formal groups working for social development.
About the Work
As we are a small organisation, we can’t afford to hire all the assistance we need, so we are looking for volunteers with technical skills who can contribute some time. All work can be done remotely.
One volunteer is required to maintain and improve our website. At the minimum, they will need to prepare and place relevant images, making adjustments to other elements where necessary. The site is in WordPress, but intermediate knowledge of HTML, CSS and an image editor such as Photoshop, GIMP, Seashore or Paint.NET will be required. Their assistance will be needed on an ad-hoc, long-term basis, perhaps once every couple of months on average.
Ideally, we would like someone with more advanced skills in both the technical and design aspects of web development to greatly improve the appearance and functionality of the site. This could take a substantial amount of time at the outset, but the long-term support could be minimal or taken over by another volunteer.
We sometimes also need people with skills in other areas, including:
Page layout (in Adobe InDesign)
Illustration (esp. cartoons)
Graphic design (e.g. designing book covers)
Editing and proofreading (to a professional standard)
Expertise in social science, science, political philosophy, ELT, adult pedagogy and other subjects
If you are interested in volunteering with us, please send your CV and links to some samples of you work to educasiamyanmar@gmail.com with the code WEB-IDE in the subject field.
