Writing & editing 📝
Explore writing and editing volunteer opportunities where volunteers, interns or other contributors can help organisations create, review or improve written content. Roles may involve articles, website copy, newsletters, reports, educational materials, project documentation or other communication tasks.
Some opportunities require experienced writers or editors, while others welcome people with strong language skills who can help proofread, organise information or prepare simple content under guidance.
What counts as writing and editing? 📝
On this page, writing and editing means that creating, revising, proofreading or preparing written material is a genuine part of the role. This can include articles, reports, newsletters, website content, educational materials, communications or project documentation. General social media use or occasional messaging is not enough on its own.
Volunteering as a writer or editor
Tasks may include researching topics, drafting or editing articles, proofreading English or other languages, preparing newsletters, documenting project activities, writing website pages or helping an organisation communicate its work more clearly.
Ask what type of material you will work on, which language level is required, who approves the final text and whether published work can be credited to you or included in your portfolio. Some writing roles can also be completed remotely.
