December 5th is International Volunteer Day!?

Volunteer work is an important part of Amara and PCF. Both our subtitle editor and team platform were built with collaboration in mind. Since our very start, we have had the opportunity to host many projects based on volunteer work.?

Volunteering can create belonging and connection within a larger community while helping individual volunteers develop professional skills and learn from more experienced people in their fields!?

Amplifying Voices is a project from PCF and Amara focused on building a more inclusive media ecosystem.?

Is through volunteer work that the Amplifying Voices team is able to make relevant videos on critical topics accessible for local communities across the globe.

Today we want to highlight the organizations that joined Amplifying Voices this year! These organizations provided video content that our team of volunteers have helped make accessible to a wider audience through subtitles and translations:?
