What are the responsibilities and job description for the Orant Charities Mudzi Gala Volunteer position at Orant Charities?
Company Description
Orant Charities is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering women and building sustainable communities in Malawi through locally led, data-driven programs. Founded in 2006, Orant works alongside Malawian communities to create lasting solutions in healthcare, clean water and sanitation, education, agriculture, business development, and environmental sustainability. Rather than imposing outside solutions, Orant partners with local leaders to develop programs that address community-identified needs and create long-term impact. Today, Orant operates through a global-local partnership, with the majority of its programs designed and implemented by a Malawian team serving communities across Central Malawi.
Volunteer Description
Seeking volunteers for Orant Charities' Mudzi Gala on Saturday, August 29th, 2026, at Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas Texas.
Support our team as guests enjoy private access to the Perot Museum after dark. The evening will include music, a raffle, live auctions, and a heads or tails game. All proceeds will expand access to healthcare, water and sanitation, education, business development, agriculture, and energy and environment for those who need it most in Malawi.
Volunteers are critical to event success. We ask that volunteers be 18 years or older and are eager and excited to learn more about our organization. Volunteers will be asked to assist with set-up, manage the registration process, fundraising pulls, answer basic questions, help with guest movement throughout the gala, and support staff where needed most. All training will be provided. Dinner is included for all volunteers.
Volunteers should be comfortable approaching and interacting with Gala attendees. The event is fun and fast-paced, and it is critical that volunteers are able to multitask and work independently and as part of a team. Please dress in cocktail attire.
We ask that volunteers arrive promptly at the museum at 4:45 pm to help our team unload and set up. The event will run until 12:00 am, and volunteers will be asked to stay for the duration of the event.
Applications for volunteers close on July 1st.
