Graphic Designers Needed

The Graphic Designer volunteer role is responsible for the original design of a website project.

A successful Graphic Designer has three or more years of experience in graphic design at an agency or as an internal graphic designer. In this role, you should have extensive experience with web design, graphics production, and be familiar with relevant design and production tools (i.e. PhotoShop,Illustrator, QuarkXPress, DreamWeaver, or equivalents). 

We have several new website projects in the works and we’re going to be working with a lot of exciting nonprofits, so it’s a great time for designers with web experience to volunteer with Taproot!

Each Taproot Foundation project lasts 5 - 6 months with volunteers committing 3 - 5hours of their time each week, often virtually. This opportunity is flexible enough to work around the schedule of your full-time job.
