The socialprotection.org platform is constantly improving to provide a better experience for its users. Recently, some of these updates were also reflected in our members’ guidelines. These documents are important instruments to increase members’ engagement level, since it guides users while using the platform, providing information and instructions on how to conduct a certain action. To make sure all the information is clearly presented in correct English grammar, we are looking for volunteers to proofread the documents. Selected online volunteers will proof-read the socialprotection.org’s guidelines, correcting errors involving spelling, punctuation, grammar and word choice. Those who successfully finalize the task will receive an online volunteer certificate issued by this website and will receive due credit for their contribution.
