Volunteer for a cause

Logged On's approach is to use information communication technologies as tools for developing sustainable and far-reaching educational programs and empowering communities. This approach requires a strong commitment by the local communities we work in and their co-investment in projects. It also requires a great deal of passion and commitment of volunteers at home. Our work would not be possible otherwise.

We are looking for energetic individuals who are committed to our vision and can help raise awareness, fundraise and provide educational material and expertise so that we can deliver long-term sustainable results. Please email the Foundation to learn more about how you can help.

 

fundraising, events management and advocacy

We need enthusiastic people who can help manage fundraising, come up with creative and exciting activities, and be a driving force behind the events. We would appreciate your help if you have had experience in:

• Developing relationships and partnerships with donors, entrepreneurs, philanthropic trusts, government, businesses and community groups.
• Developing and implementing fundraising strategy plans.
• Events management and organisation skills.

If you have connections within foundations, companies and businesses that might be interested in funding or supporting Logged On, please let us know.

 

Do you have teaching skills or working in Nepal?

Not only do we need to deliver computer hardware and software, but we also aim to provide assistance to local teachers with good educational software and curriculum material that work with local education programs. Core to our organisation is the delivery of IT equipment and to ensure that they are used to their maximum potential by the communities we are helping. We are looking for individuals who have the following talents:

• Qualifications and experience for teaching children computer literacy skills and/or using computers to deliver high quality and stimulating educational material.
• Experience in adult community education in IT or delivering material using ICTs, especially in developing countries.
• Experience in teaching or development work in Nepal with a good understanding of the issues in rural communities and local education.

There may also be capacity for volunteer teaching in Nepal (see below). Please contact the Foundation for more information.

 

Do you love to travel?

Logged On tries, wherever possible, to provide local people with the opportunity for projects involvement. However, there are situations where volunteers can make a real difference, and with the support of the communities we work together with, we can facilitate your visit to project areas. Please contact us if you have a passion for travel and helping in developing countries, especially if you have skills in the following areas:

• Teaching: if you can spend some time assisting with teaching children in either computer literacy skills and/or using computers and the internet for delivering educational programs.
• IT skills: setting up computer equipment, working with wireless technology and networking.
• Development: please contact us if you have experience in working on development projects and believe you can help with fulfilling our mission.

In the village of Astam where we are working on our first project, the community appreciate visitors who can spend time volunteering at the school, even if they are not qualified teachers. Anyone with a good command of the English language can make a difference by spending a few hours reading to small groups of children. Astam also has the Dhital Health Post and they are looking for final year medical students or qualified doctors as volunteers who are confident in clinical decision making, and managing common presentations with limited resources. Please contact the Foundation and we will put you in contact with the right people.

 

Professional help and Pro-bono work

We are looking for professionals, legal practitioners, and accountants, that can provide pro-bono assistance and advice to the Foundation. If you would like to help a new not-for-profit organisation grow and become a partner, we would like to hear from you.
