Volunteer Marketing & Communications Lead (Remote, Pacific Northwest preferred)

About us: Afretech's ARES Education program brings high-quality digital learning to rural Kenyan schools that lack internet and reliable power. Each ARES system is an offline server with a campus-wide mesh network, 20-30 notebooks, and projectors, loaded with the full Kenyan curriculum, Khan Academy, Wikipedia, and more — battery-powered and built for rugged conditions. Over 100 schools use ARES today, and national exam results have improved in participating schools. We're now raising $500,000-$1,000,000 to expand: $10,000 puts a system in a new school; $500 a year keeps one running with local support staff.

The role: Own our online presence. You'll run website content, social media, and the email newsletter; turn photos, video, and field reports from Kenyan schools into stories donors want to share; and support fundraising campaigns. Early 2027 brings a new chapter to tell: we're piloting AI-generated lesson plans for teachers plus a projector in every classroom, which will also give us stronger impact data.

Commitment: 10-20 hours/week (10 to start is fine), remote, 6-month initial commitment, weekly check-in with the founder. Pacific Northwest preferred (Vancouver, BC / Bellingham, WA area).

You bring: experience in digital marketing, content, or communications; strong writing; comfort with website and social tools; an eye for stories that move people to act.

We offer: a visible, high-impact role, references, and a front-row seat to a program changing how rural schools teach.
