Volunteer Opportunities

Ongoing Internships. The Rosetta Project has a volunteer internship program, which helps train researchers in the practice of archiving linguistic documentation as well as providing some exposure to the activities and operation of a nonprofit foundation. Internships are mentored, take place on site, and involve both archive management as well as a special project worked out between the intern and mentor to be completed during the period of the internship. Internships are typically from 2-3 months, and can take place at any time of the year (summer internship slots are popular with students, and tend to be more competitive). If you are interested in becoming a Rosetta Project intern, please send email describing your background and interest along with your résumé (included as text in the body of the message, no attachments please) to rosetta@longnow.org.

Volunteer Developer (January - June 02011). The Rosetta Project is looking for a volunteer developer to help build front- and backend infrastructure for The 300 Languages Project, a web-based language documentation project. This is an excellent opportunity for a programming student or young developer seeking to hone his or her skills and add a unique project to his or her résumé. For this project, we are looking for someone who is comfortable working with HTML, CSS, JavaScript (and jQuery), and has experience with Python, Django, MySQL and UNIX. We'd need a minimum commitment of 10 hours per week through June 02011. If interested, please send an email to rosetta@longnow.org with your résumé and a paragraph or so telling us about your interest in the project.
