We need assistance with developing and launching our crowdfunding strategy for GoFund Me, Amazon Smile, PayPal Giving, etc. We think that we need expert advice so we can do better on these platforms. Our target donors are based in the US and have deep interest in positively impacting the lives of people on the African continent. Our aim is to raise a minimum of $500K through this crowd funding initiative. YALDA US has an opening for a Crowd Funding Developer Volunteer reporting directly to the YALDA US President and team.

Do you have a strong passion for the development of Africa? Do you have innovative ideas on how the youth can contribute to Africa’s development? Do you want to positively impact the lives of bright and talented young people to make the most of their lives on the African continent? Do you love to network and meet people from all over the world? Then this position is for you!

YALDA is a networking organization that is truly Africa branded: "By Africans, For Africa!" YALDA is a non-profit international organization that was established by upper-level and graduate Harvard University students to create a resourceful networking database for those with a strong interest in Africa. The network is centered around YALDA branches, primarily at African universities, and serves to increase the capacity of youth in Africa for developing positive leadership skills and to espouse an honest work ethic. YALDA US works on researching opportunities in Africa, fundraising activities, working with branches, maintaining relationships with the UN, and compliance with regulations as a 501 (c)(3).
We have done research on various crowdfunding platforms so we are aware of what could be most beneficial for us. We looked at platforms that were cheaper and had had success in raising funds for projects in Africa. We will provide the volunteer with this information.
