Volunteer for a startup making sustainability inclusive, human, and accessible to everyone! 🌍
Manakal empowers young people and underserved communities to become sustainability leaders through accessible, culturally-centered education and mentorship.
Environmental issues are frequently discussed in technical or institutional spaces that feel distant and exclusive, leaving many people—especially those in underserved communities—feeling disconnected from the conversation. While many young people are deeply motivated to drive change, they face systemic barriers like a lack of professional mentorship, limited access to training, and the emotional toll of "eco-anxiety" and isolation. Without inclusive entry points and supportive environments, a vast amount of community potential for climate action remains untapped.
Manakal bridges the gap between motivation and opportunity by creating people-centered pathways for sustainability learning and leadership. Our model moves beyond simple information-sharing to focus on building the mindset, confidence, and emotional resilience needed for long-term community engagement. We prioritize accessibility by breaking down complex climate topics into practical habits and using native languages rather than relying solely on English, ensuring our resources are culturally relevant and inclusive. By providing a "safe harbor" for growth that combines technical skill-building with human-centered mentorship, Manakal empowers individuals to move from overwhelmed observers to active agents of change, ensuring that local expertise and diverse voices are at the heart of the global transition to sustainability.
Role (Volunteer, unpaid): Web Developer (Wix)
Role Description: We are seeking a detail-oriented individual with strong experience using Wix to manage, improve, and expand the Manakal website. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys creating clean, user-friendly websites and wants to use their technical skills to support a meaningful global mission.
