Tech Development Instructor

Technology Development Instructor

EcoServants® is recruiting volunteer Technology Development Instructors to help interns improve the digital infrastructure, technical workflows, and online experiences supporting our environmental nonprofit. Our Tech Development program addresses website functionality, user experience, technical optimization, digital platforms, troubleshooting, and technology-driven organizational improvements.

Volunteer Responsibilities

• Mentor interns completing website improvements, platform enhancements, and technical research assignments.
• Provide guidance on WordPress, web technologies, troubleshooting, usability, accessibility, and performance optimization.
• Review technical deliverables for accuracy, functionality, and adherence to published requirements.
• Help interns develop clear testing procedures and documentation.
• Encourage sustainable, secure, and maintainable technology practices.
• Communicate improvement recommendations to EcoServants® management.

How EcoServants® Operates

EcoServants® is a fully volunteer-powered, 501(c)(3) environmental nonprofit. Our remote interns typically join a four-month program and complete practical, published assignments that contribute to real organizational, educational, and conservation-related projects. Work is organized through our EcoServants® Intern Portal and assignment-based Kanban board, where interns review requirements, claim appropriate assignments, submit deliverables, and receive feedback.

Your Instructor Portal & Team Support

Approved Instructors receive their own secure Instructor account and access to the EcoServants® Instructor Portal (ecoservantsproject.org/instructors-portal/). The portal supports instructor onboarding and program-focused workflows. Instructors can support one program or an approved combination of programs, participate in relevant EcoServants® Team Chats, answer questions, and review submissions against the written assignment requirements.

You are not expected to develop an entire curriculum or teach scheduled classes. Most mentorship is flexible and asynchronous: clarify an assignment, suggest improvements, provide respectful and actionable review feedback, and coordinate with nonprofit managers when a decision requires management approval.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in information technology, website development, WordPress, technical support, systems administration, web accessibility, or related fields.
