No. Anike Foundation is a 100% volunteer-based organization and does not have paid employees. 

Anike Foundation welcomes volunteers from a wide range of backgrounds and experience levels, provided they can contribute meaningfully to our mission. 

Our volunteers include: 

• Students pursuing college degrees  

• Recent graduates seeking experience while searching for employment  

• Working professionals who volunteer alongside their careers  

• Retirees and other experienced professionals  

Volunteer tenure varies considerably. Some volunteers serve for only a few months, while others remain active for several years. A small number have served with Anike Foundation for more than a decade. 

No. As a small, fully volunteer-run organization with limited resources, Anike Foundation does not offer stipends, compensation, or financial support for volunteer positions. 

Upon completion of at least two months of satisfactory volunteer service, volunteers may receive one of the following: 

• LinkedIn recommendation  

• Testimonial  

• Spotlight in an Anike newsletter  

• Professional reference  

Yes. 

Leadership positions are typically filled by volunteers who have demonstrated long-term commitment, significant contributions, and strong performance over an extended period. Many members of our leadership team began as volunteers and gradually assumed greater responsibilities as their experience with the organization grew. 

No. Anike Foundation is a 100% volunteer-run organization and currently has no plans to create paid positions. 

Individuals seeking paid employment may wish to explore opportunities with other organizations. However, those who are interested in contributing to Anike Foundation's mission through volunteer service are welcome to apply. 

In some cases, yes. While many positions prefer candidates who have or are pursuing a college degree, the President may waive this requirement at his discretion after reviewing an applicant's qualifications.

High school students may be considered on a case-by-case basis at the President's discretion. Applicants are evaluated based on their overall qualifications, maturity, and ability to perform the responsibilities of the role. 

No. All volunteer applicants must complete Anike Foundation's online volunteer application regardless of their experience or qualifications. 

The process generally includes:

3. Complete any required preparatory materials.

4. Take any required quiz (for positions that require one).

5. Participate in any required interview.

According to Anike Foundation procedures: 

• Above 80%: Pass  

• 60%–80%: Marginal fail (second chance may be offered)  

• Below 60%: Fail  

Applicants are generally not provided with their exact score or incorrect responses until they have successfully passed. 

Orientation occurs after all enlistment requirements have been completed and you have been accepted into the volunteer role. 

Yes. Orientation provides volunteers with the information, tools, and procedures necessary to perform their assigned responsibilities. 

Your supervisor will be identified during onboarding and orientation. For many administrative positions, the President serves as the primary supervisor. 

Responsibilities vary depending on the volunteer's assigned role, projects, and tasks. 

• Gmail  

• Google Drive  

• Google Sheets  

• Other related Google applications  

There is no mandatory minimum number of hours. Tasks are generally assigned based on each volunteer's availability and capacity. 

To help ensure continuity and successful completion of projects, we generally ask volunteers to commit to a minimum service period of three to six months. However, the expected commitment may vary depending on the specific volunteer role, project requirements, and individual circumstances. 

If you are uncertain whether you can meet the expected commitment for a particular role, please discuss your availability with us during the application process. 

We understand that personal, academic, and professional commitments can change over time. 

If you need to take a temporary leave of absence or resign from your volunteer position, please notify your supervisor by email as far in advance as reasonably possible, preferably at least two weeks beforehand. Advance notice helps us reassign responsibilities and ensure a smooth transition of any ongoing work. 

We appreciate volunteers keeping their supervisors informed of any changes that may affect their availability or ability to complete assigned tasks. 

No. There are no regularly scheduled team meetings. 

Most communication is conducted through email. 

Generally, no. Anike Foundation conducts most volunteer communications through email because it is typically the most efficient method for both applicants and volunteers. 

No. Volunteers are expected to use their own equipment. 

Yes. Volunteers may use a separate email address if they wish. In many cases, volunteers may also be issued an official Anike Foundation email address after onboarding.

• Internal organizational information  

• Volunteer data  

• Photos and videos belonging to Anike Foundation and its partners  

• Other proprietary information  

No. The agreement applies only to materials, information, and intellectual property created for or obtained through Anike Foundation. It does not restrict independent work performed for other organizations using non-Anike resources.

Yes. 

Volunteers may identify their contributions and roles on specific projects, provided they do not reproduce the content outside of Anike platforms without authorization.

Anike Foundation supports partner organizations through various programs, including helping eligible partners identify funding opportunities and prepare grant proposals. 

No. Due to resource limitations, Anike Foundation generally relies on reports submitted by partner organizations rather than conducting onsite supervision visits. 

No. Anike Foundation does not offer fiscal sponsorship to organizations that are not its partners.

Because our volunteers are located throughout the world, we do not conduct regular organization-wide volunteer meetings. Communication and coordination are handled primarily through email.

Volunteers participating under Optional Practical Training (OPT) may use their NDA/IP agreement, signed timesheets, and other supporting documentation as evidence of volunteer service. 

Volunteers may use their own timesheet or Anike Foundation's timesheet template. Timesheets should be submitted periodically for verification and signature.
