Partnerships & Ecosystem Outreach - Volunteer

You will help Truth Library build partnerships with scientific hubs and sustainability education platforms. Support outreach, collaboration, and ecosystem building for a knowledge infrastructure advancing clarity, trust, and evidence‑based sustainability learning.

This volunteer role plays a critical part in helping Truth Library grow as a trusted knowledge infrastructure within the sustainability, science, and education ecosystem. Truth Library’s mission depends not only on technology, but on meaningful relationships with institutions and communities that create, teach, and apply knowledge. By supporting outreach and partnerships, this role directly strengthens our ability to build those relationships in a thoughtful and aligned way.

What are we looking for?

• Volunteers who are curious, thoughtful, and motivated by impact, rather than by incentives or hierarchy.
• People who enjoy connecting ideas, institutions, and people—and who care about the quality and integrity of knowledge.

Core qualities

• Alignment with the mission; interest in sustainability, science, education, systems thinking, or evidence‑based decision‑making.
• Comfort with outreach and dialogue; ability to start respectful, authentic conversations with professionals and institutions.
• Curiosity and listening skills; genuine interest in understanding others’ needs before proposing solutions.
• Reliability and self‑direction; ability to take initiative and follow through with minimal supervision.
• Clarity in communication; written and verbal communication that is thoughtful, adaptive, and audience‑aware.

More than confidence, we value discernment, openness, and integrity.

Relevant experience may include, but is not limited to:

• Sustainability education, environmental studies, ESG, or climate‑related fields.
• Academic or research environments (universities, labs, think tanks, research networks).
• NGOs, foundations, or mission‑driven organizations.
• Community building, partnerships, outreach, or stakeholder engagement.
• Online education platforms, MOOCs, or knowledge‑sharing initiatives.

Formal credentials are not mandatory. Practical exposure, intellectual curiosity, or strong personal motivation are equally valuable.

Mindset we value

The volunteer should be comfortable working in an early‑stage, evolving context, where:

• Structures are light and adaptable.
• Learning happens through experimentation.
• Feedback loops matter as much as outcomes.

This role suits people who prefer meaningful contribution over rigid role definitions, and who are comfortable helping shape a project rather than executing predefined tasks.

What matters most

• Respect evidence, nuance, and complexity.
• Care about how knowledge is created, validated, and shared.
• See partnerships as relationships, not transactions.
• Are motivated by contributing to a larger public good.

If you are motivated by building bridges between science, sustainability, and education, this role offers a meaningful way to contribute.

Remote

All work is done remotely.

What will you be doing?

The volunteer will support Truth Library’s partnership development and ecosystem outreach, with a specific focus on scientific hubs, sustainability education centers, and online learning platforms. The role revolves around building meaningful connections that can lead to collaboration, shared learning, pilots, or long‑term partnerships. At the core, this is about opening conversations—not selling a product.

The volunteer will help identify and map potential partner organizations, such as research institutes, universities, sustainability education hubs, think tanks, NGOs, and online learning platforms. This may include:

• Light desktop research to understand each organization’s mission and focus.
• Identifying alignment with Truth Library’s goals around validated knowledge, sustainability, and education.
• Prioritizing contacts where collaboration seems natural or mutually beneficial.

This work helps build a structured view of the ecosystem Truth Library operates within.

Outreach and first contact

The volunteer will support initial outreach efforts to selected organizations or individuals. This can involve:

• Sending short, thoughtful introductory messages (email, LinkedIn, or platform‑specific channels).
• Tailoring messages to reflect each organization’s mission and language.
• Proposing exploratory conversations rather than predefined outcomes.

This helps the core team understand how Truth Library is perceived across different parts of the sustainability and education ecosystem.

An important part of the role is listening. The volunteer will help capture insights such as:

• What sustainability educators and researchers struggle with today.
• How existing platforms handle validation, evidence, and trust.
• Where gaps exist in current education and knowledge infrastructures.

These insights help refine Truth Library’s positioning, language, and future development.

Narrative and messaging contribution

Based on outreach experience, the volunteer may contribute suggestions to improve how Truth Library explains:

• Its purpose and value for scientific and educational partners.
• Potential collaboration models (content integration, pilots, shared research, co‑creation).
• Language that resonates with academic, NGO, or education audiences.
