• Stay in thoughtful communication with contributors throughout the process
• Maintain a secure and organized database of contacts and story materials
• Act as the main link between participants and our internal project team

What we’re looking for:

• Awareness of or connection to migrant or refugee communities
• Comfort with one-on-one communication and interviewing
• Strong organizational habits and attention to confidentiality
• 6 to 10 hours per week with a flexible schedule

Why this matters:
