We are looking for a Multimedia Specialist to join our team to produce excellent online learning content (videos, static images) for our training programs.

The Change.org Foundation creates positive impact in some of the world’s most marginalised communities through community-building programs, research, and partnerships for citizen-led campaigning. We anchor our work on the belief that no person should have to feel powerless.
