Experienced Web Developer - Volunteer

This is a hands-on opportunity to build a clean, scalable website for a high-impact environmental nonprofit, while shaping how we present our work to partners, funders, and communities.

What difference will you make?

Our website is critical to how we communicate our work, attract partners, and secure funding—but our current setup limits flexibility and growth.

By helping us migrate to a self-hosted platform, you will

Enable REUSE Foundation to present its work more professionally and credibly Support fundraising and partnerships through clearer storytelling and structure Create a scalable digital foundation for future campaigns and initiatives Reduce long-term costs and dependency on restrictive platforms Help accelerate solutions that reduce plastic waste in rural communities

Your contribution will directly strengthen our ability to grow and scale reuse systems that prevent plastic pollution at the source.
