ProductiveMuslim started as a simple blog driven by Abu Productive’s vision towards inspiring others to lead productive lives. Today, the blog has developed into an established platform on productivity — managed by a virtual team of more than 20 volunteers from around the globe.

As we continue to grow and consistently seek to reach greater heights, we’re in need of some more helping hands.

What do we need help with?

We are looking for a Graphic Design Volunteer to do the following:

• Support ProductiveMuslim.com in online/offline marketing campaigns by designing suitable posters, leaflets, online banners, social media covers, etc.
• Maintain the branding of ProductiveMuslim.com in all our online/print material.
• Provide design input/feedback into our projects.

What’s in it for you?

• Flexibility: You have the freedom to work how you want, where you want. We focus on results.
• Personal and professional growth: As part of volunteering with the ProductiveMuslim team, you’ll be part of a dynamic, ever-growing, ever-learning, productive Muslim team. You’ll gain insights into how decisions are made and some of the major challenges that companies such as ours face, and you’ll be part of the ups and downs of running an online organization.
• Training: As much as you’re helping us, we want to help you! Our dream for each of our volunteers is that they come out from the experience with as much learning and skills that they can put to use for their future work and home life. Therefore, we commit to offer you free or subsidized access to relevant training programs that will improve and add to your current skill set and stand you in good stead for the future. You will also be working with experienced team members who are always ready to lend a helping hand.
• Reward: In this life of inspiring people and turning their lives around for the better and the reward in the next life for the hard work dedicated to Allah’s  pleasure, in sha Allah.
• Reference: We are also happy to provide you a reference to future employers/colleges/university upon successful completion of six months working with us.

You’ll be a great fit if:

• You have an existing interest in visual arts, graphics design or illustration and are willing to develop it further
• You have intermediate proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator or similar software
• You are someone with a design experience and is willing to donate 3-5 hours per week for ProductiveMuslim.com

Do not apply if:

• You are simply looking for a hobby
• You are unable to commit time for this role
