Volunteer Partnerships Coordinator — Planned Nationwide Women's Chess Festival, Israel

Help develop partnerships for a planned nationwide women's chess festival in Israel, with activities for women and girls. Tsameret Hashivyon (צמרת השוויון), a registered nonprofit in Ashdod, is developing this project alongside its ongoing community sports, chess, inclusion and cultural work. We operate Tsameret–Dune Chess Club in cooperation with Dune Community Centre.

The festival is in the planning stage. Dates, programme details and partner participation are being coordinated and will be announced once confirmed. This opportunity is to help prepare partnerships, not to recruit players for an already confirmed event.

We are seeking a volunteer with experience or strong interest in women's initiatives, chess, sports events or sponsorship.

What you can help with:

• Identify suitable sponsors, women's organisations, chess networks and community partners.
• Help shape clear partnership proposals using the approved programme and budget.
• Explore financial and in-kind support, such as equipment, prizes, printing and accessibility services.
• Help arrange introductions and meetings and keep track of agreed next steps.

Experience in partnerships, events, fundraising or community organising is welcome. Hebrew or English communication skills are useful; please tell us which countries, communities or professional networks you know. Applicants of all genders are welcome.

This is an unpaid volunteer role with no commission or percentage of sponsorship. Research and coordination can be remote. Any meetings and time commitment are agreed individually. Expenses require prior written approval and are not automatically reimbursed.

You will work directly with Nikita Bezman, Chairman. Outreach, sponsorship benefits and any commitments to partners require the association's prior approval.
