The Movers Programme is a regional movement of youth volunteers who teach their fellow youth about the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), entrepreneurship mindset, and 21st century skills through the training-of-trainer approach. The translated versions of the Movers Workshop in Introduction to SDGs and Orientation to Entrepreneurship will help reach more Filipino youth in their native language, especially those that come from underrepresented sectors i.e., women, out-of-school, LGBTQIA+, affected by crisis/disaster, religious or ethnic minority, and differently-abled or persons with disability.

The OUNV will translate the Movers Workshops Climate Action Level 1 and 2 together with its supporting documents i.e., slide deck, registration form, facilitator's handbook, and pre-/post- workshop email templates from English to Filipino. This volunteer opportunity is open for two (2) translators and will require 6-10 hours a week for 3 weeks with support of the organization.
