Meanwhile, the scope of this role is meant to support two community-related initiatives, which launched last year: The Kiva Alumni Network and the Kiva Ambassador Community. The Review and Translation Program works with over 400 volunteers worldwide to translate, edit, and review more than 95% of all loan profiles, including personal stories of Kiva borrowers before they are posted for funding on Kiva in a timely manner. Last year, the senior manager of the Review and Translation Program branched out to launch Kiva’s first Alumni network–which is meant to maintain points of connection with former staff members–as well as Kiva’s most recent iteration of an Ambassador Community–which is intended to support Kiva enthusiasts as they spread the word about Kiva. This is a great opportunity for a self-starter who is interested in supporting Kiva’s success with two new programs. Role overview: As an intern wit
