• A Natural Leader: You are comfortable working with and motivating teams in a volunteer environment.
• Organized: You are proficient in planning tools (Trello, Asana, or Excel) and thrive in environments where logistics and timing are key.
• Mission-Driven: You are deeply committed to the professional development of Burundian youth.
• Languages: Fluency in english is essential; french proficiency is a strong advantage.
