We urgently need a Communication Specialist to strengthen our visibility, storytelling, and donor‑facing communication. This role is ideal for individuals who want to stay relevant in a competitive nonprofit market by contributing 5–10 hours per week, rather than those seeking short‑term financial gain.

If you are part of the nonprofit community, have recently lost your job, or are seeking first‑hand experience with one of the fastest‑growing nonprofits in the DMV, Paraklet is the place to be. We are looking for someone who believes in our mission and wants to contribute to our growth and operational scale‑up.

  • Strong writing, editing, and content creation skills
  • Ability to translate program activities into compelling narratives
  • Familiarity with USAID, INGO, or nonprofit communication standards
  • Experience with Canva, Adobe Suite, or similar tools is a plus
  • Ability to work independently and meet deadlines

Compensation Options

• • Volunteer: 5–10 hours/week

This volunteer opportunity is intended for individuals who are motivated by purpose, impact, and community service—not short‑term financial gain. Paraklet Inc. is seeking committed contributors who want to strengthen their skills, build meaningful experience, and support a growing nonprofit serving women, youth, and vulnerable communities.

Students, entry‑level professionals, and experienced practitioners looking to stay engaged in the nonprofit sector are all welcome. If you are passionate about making a real difference and contributing your expertise to a mission‑driven organization, we would be glad to hear from you. However, Paraklet Inc. anticipates upcoming funding opportunities, and the position is expected to transition into a paid consultancy or full‑time role contingent upon award. Candidates who join now will be given priority consideration for the paid role once funding is secured.
