About the volunteering opportunity
Hi there!
We’re a small non-profit association running Squirrel News, a free, curated app (+ newsletter) for solutions-focused news (squirrel-news.net). Three times per week we collect and present the most important and most interesting stories about new solutions to the world’s biggest problems.

At the moment, we’re looking for another volunteer editor on our English edition (most of as work as volunteers so far).
Squirrel News is based in Berlin, but we work remotely. If you're based in Europe that would be ideal, as we'd work within similar time zones. But if not, we can also find a way.
