    Description

    Volunteer Opportunity: Handmade Thank-You Card Creator 💌

    Organization: Maya’s Hope Foundation, Inc.

    Location: Remote / At-Home / or Manhattan

    Commitment: Flexible | Project-based

    Maya’s Hope is seeking detail-oriented, creative volunteers to help us make beautiful handmade thank-you cards that are sent directly to our donors. These cards are an important part of how we show gratitude to the people who make our work for children in extreme poverty possible.

    This is a wonderful opportunity for someone who enjoys paper crafts, stationery, calligraphy, illustration, or thoughtful hand-made projects — and wants their creativity to have real impact.

    What You’ll Do

    • Create handmade thank-you cards following specific size and paper-quality guidelines
    • Work from clear instructions we provide regarding:
      • Paper thickness (cardstock weight)
      • Card dimensions
      • Design parameters (what to include / avoid)
    • Coordinate mailing or drop-off of finished cards (details provided)

    Important Details

    • We do have very specific requirements regarding paper thickness and size to ensure consistency and mailability
    • Volunteers must be willing to follow exact instructions
    • All materials are provided by the volunteer unless otherwise arranged

    Ideal Volunteer

    • Enjoys crafting, card-making, illustration, or calligraphy
    • Is reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable following guidelines
    • Takes pride in creating warm, thoughtful, high-quality work
    • Can commit to completing cards within agreed timelines

    Why This Matters

    Our donors help fund life-saving surgeries, therapy, food, and basic needs for children in the Philippines and Ukraine. These handmade cards are often deeply meaningful to them — many donors keep them — and they reflect the heart of our organization.

    If you love creating something beautiful with purpose, we’d be so grateful to have you.

    To apply:

    Please respond with a short note about your experience with handmade cards or paper crafts, and include photos or samples if you have them.
