Media and Photography Interns needed to help Philippines NGO

Job description

Volunteer in the Philippines for a grassroots NGO and help to raise awareness of the socioeconomic issues which face local Filipinos. This organisation has many established social welfare projects which act as a support line for many disadvantaged people in the local community. However, the social and economic issues present in the Philippines often go unrecognised.

This media project aims to address this by documenting and highlighting the issues concerned to a more international audience. This is a great project for volunteers with a passion for photo journalism, social media, and documentary style news reporting as well as those interested in social development. Material collected and edited by volunteers will be used to populate the organisations YouTube Channel and Facebook Page as well as other relevant literature, providing volunteers with the opportunity to really get the message out there.

Desired profile

This project is multi-faceted and requires volunteers to be independent, self motivated and creative. Whilst volunteers don’t need to be skilled in any particular profession it is preferred that volunteers are competent with a camera and have a good eye for a picture.

Volunteers will also need to supply their own equipment as current equipment at the project site is extremely basic. Bringing an SLR camera/video recorder will provide volunteers with the best opportunity to provide good material for the campaign. Roles for volunteers without this equipment will also be considered.
