Volunteering Opportunities

Please consider joining the United Humans team in one of these important roles

If you are able to help in any capacity, please complete the form at the bottom of the page.

As we raise money, these volunteer roles will eventually transition into paid positions.

  • We’re currently seeking a highly detail-oriented volunteer with experience or interest in remote administrative work. Initially the role will involve:
    • content and profile management on a variety of websites and online platforms
    • scheduling meetings, managing the calendar and maintaining the contact database
    • fielding inquiries from press and the public
    • handling recurring and one-off operating expenses
    Experience with Google’s productivity ecosystem, Squarespace, Wordpress, Hubspot (or other CMS), Patreon and other crowdfunding platforms are all a plus. Applicants will be expected to make themselves available 5-10 hours per week to begin with. But this role will grow as the organization does and will most likely become a full-time paid position within a few months.

  • We’re currently seeking copywriters to write web and social copy on an ad hoc basis (i.e. as and when needed). Assignments will generally have plenty of lead time, but writers will need to be reliable self starters and comfortable receiving and addressing creative feedback. Please provide samples of your writing, preferably showing a variety of voices and styles.

  • We’re currently seeking charming volunteers, ideally with fundraising experience and, in the best of worlds, with existing networks of donors. Experience with high net worth individual donors, institutional donors, grant writing and crowd-funding are all pluses. United Humans sets high standards of integrity and transparency for itself and requires fundraisers in particular to uphold those standards.

  • We’re currently seeking talented volunteers who knows their way around both vector and pixel art creation tools to help with the following:
    • designing logos, infographics and diagrams
    • keeping the organization’s websites and social media profiles fresh
    • creating static images for social media posts and overlays for videos
    We don’t care what software you use, provided you use one that is suitable for the given task and that the results are clean and well-optimized for the intended usage. Assignments will be ad hoc and with plenty of lead time, to allow volunteers to fit the work into and around their existing schedule. Please provide samples of your work. We are particularly interested in clean, contemporary styles that convey both the seriousness of our mission and the compassion that motivates it.

  • We’re currently seeking influencers who have ideas to help grow our audience and reach. Whether your own following is big or small is less important than your ideology being aligned to ours and your creative ideas around audience growth.

  • We’re currently seeking tenaciously curious volunteers, who can research a variety of topics across multiple sources. A big part of United Humans’ mission is to publish informative content in a variety of media. It’s critically important that all the information included in our content be of the highest quality. Familiarity with cognitive biases and strategies for overcoming them are important in this role. Research assignments will be on an ad hoc basis, with long lead times, allowing the researcher to fit the work into and around their existing schedule.

  • We’re currently seeking experienced volunteers to manage multiple social media accounts over various platforms, including (in alphabetical order):
    • Facebook
    • Instagram
    • LinkedIn
    • Reddit
    • Tiktok
    • Twitter
    Applicants should be willing to devote 1-2 hours per day, initially, with the expectation that the role will transition to full-time over the course of the next 6 months.

  • We’re currently seeking multi-lingual volunteers to translate this website into as many languages as possible. Please let us know which languages you are fluent in. Accuracy of the translations is very important and there will be a review process to ensure that the nuances of the text are preserved in each additional language.

  • We’re currently seeking a volunteer editor—ideally with at least some motion graphics experience—to edit together a few short pieces of content (typically 1-2 minutes each) each week. The content will be released on a variety of social media platforms, so familiarity with workflows that produce various different aspect ratios and durations is important. You may use any software you wish, provided the output is clean and meets the specifications of the target platform. Please provide samples of your work.
