Two New Volunteer Opportunities with Acumen Fund

Acumen Fund's New York office is currently looking for two volunteers to assist their Communications and Finance teams, respectively. Please see below for descriptions on each opportunity.

Communications Volunteer

The Acumen Fund Communications team is currently looking for a volunteer to write, edit and manage content on two of our key online properties – the Acumen Fund blog and website. This is a 3-month, full-time volunteer position. The volunteer will be expected to work out of Acumen Fund’s New York office.

The Communications Volunteer will be a key member of Acumen Fund’s communications team, working with Acumen Fund staff (across functions and geographies) to ensure timely, accurate, compelling content on the website and blog, and to support internal knowledge building. This is an unpaid position, but you’ll learn a lot about the sector as well as the inner workings of Acumen Fund and have the opportunity to share your words with the ever-expanding Acumen Fund community.

The ideal candidate will have a facility for the written word (and for the technology needed to share such words), as well as a passion for Acumen Fund’s vision and mission.

Finance Volunteer

The Acumen Fund Finance team is looking for a volunteer who is interested in doing some investment research by calling financial institutions, preparing schedules of investment income from our investments, and doing bank reconciliations. The time commitment will be a few hours a week. The ideal candidate will have some accounting and/or finance skills, and possess strong Excel macro skills. Interested parties should send their resume and a short cover letter to: aattavane@acumenfund.org.
