Mission Outreach Researcher – Identify Learning Hub Operators and Mission Partners (Remote)

About the Role

As a Mission Outreach Researcher, you help GoodHands identify locally active organizations, initiatives, and potential learning hub operators who may align with our mission. Your work supports a structured outreach process: building a reliable research pipeline so that verified operators can be invited into the GoodHands Mission Forum and supported through clear participation pathways.

This role is research-focused and ideal for volunteers who enjoy careful online discovery, structured documentation, and mission-oriented systems thinking.

What You Will Do

• • Search online for locally active initiatives in underserved contexts (NGOs, community groups, grassroots learning actors)
  • Identify potential Learning Hub Operators and mission-aligned local initiatives
  • Collect and document reliable contact details (email / contact forms / social profiles)
  • Capture structured reference data (mission focus, location, continuity, target group, credibility signals)
  • Flag which contacts appear to be Operators vs. Multipliers/Enablers (service clubs, churches, networks, umbrella NGOs)

Where You May Research

• • Websites and public directories
  • Local NGO networks and education/community pages
  • LinkedIn (optional, helpful, but not required)
  • Public social profiles (when relevant)

What You Will Not Do

• • No outreach messaging unless assigned later
  • No persuasion work or partnership negotiation
  • No data scraping tools required
  • No fundraising

What You Need

• • Strong attention to detail and consistent documentation
  • Comfort working with structured lists and simple templates
  • English required (other languages helpful)
  • Interest in education access, community-based learning, and practical impact systems

What We Offer

• • Clear search criteria + simple templates
  • Practical contribution to a real mission pipeline
  • Flexible remote volunteering (results matter more than fixed hours)
  • Support and feedback loops as you improve your research quality
