Results is an advocacy nonprofit that believes in mobilizing everyday people (our volunteers) to generate the political will to end extreme poverty in low-and middle-income countries. We focus our work on global health, access to quality education and economic opportunities. We direct our energy and efforts at government decision makers like party leaders, Members of Parliament and senators because they have the power to improve policies and make the monetary investments needed to end extreme poverty. We also raise awareness by writing letters to the editor (LTEs) and op-eds, using social media, fundraising and more. Oftentimes the first step is putting these issues on the radar — and keeping the pressure on. It might seem like a small step, but it all adds up into impact. commitment: 1 year minimum, 1-2 hours per week on average support structure: Volunteers (virtually) meet in local groups on a monthly basis and rely on their group leader(s) for guidance. Attending other virtual calls and webinars led by Results staff is recommended. If you’re ready to learn about advocacy, causes and solutions to extreme poverty and committed to taking action every month, join us! Use the following link to sign up to volunteer.FRANÇAIS Nous sommes un organisme de plaidoyer qui mobilise les gens du quotidien (nos bénévoles) pour générer la volonté politique pour mettre fin à l’extrême pauvreté dans les pays à faible et moyen revenu. Nous concentrons notre travail sur la santé mondiale, l’accès à une éducation de qualité et l’inclusion économique. Nous concentrons notre énergie et nos efforts à mobiliser les décideurs et décideuses politiques comme les chef.fe.s de partis, député.es, sénateurs et sénatrices, car ils et elles détiennent le pouvoir d’améliorer les politiques et de faire les investissements requis pour éradiquer l’extrême pauvreté. Nous faisons aussi de la sensibilisation en écrivant des lettres ouvertes aux journaux, en utilisant les médias sociaux, en collectant des fonds et bien plus. Souvent, la première étape est d’attirer l’attention sur ces enjeux et de les faire connaître — et de maintenir la pression. Cela peut sembler être un petit pas, mais les actions s’accumulent et ont ainsi de l’impact. engagement : 1 an minimum, 1-2 heures par semaine en moyenne structure de soutien : Les bénévoles se réunissent (virtuellement) en groupes locaux tous les mois et comptent sur leur.s leader.s de groupe pour obtenir des conseils. Il est aussi recommandé d’assister à d’autres appels virtuels et webinaires dirigés par les employées de Résultats. Vous êtes prêt.e à apprendre ce que signifie faire du plaidoyer, en apprendre plus sur les causes et solutions à l’extrême pauvreté, puis vous vous engagez à passer à l’action à chaque mois?

Social Media, Marketing & Branding Volunteers — The AI Leap 2026Short SummaryLondon is taking the leap. On September 29, 150+ business leaders, founders and students gather for the city's first AI event of this scale. We are looking for 8 creative volunteers to help tell that story — social content, photography, video, design and outreach. Most of the work is remote and flexible. You get a free seat at the event, published work with full credit, and a portfolio piece from a genuinely high-profile local launch.The OpportunityFor years, the big AI conversations have happened somewhere else. Toronto. Waterloo. San Francisco. Meanwhile, London's own leaders have been figuring it out quietly on their own — in banks, law firms, fintech startups, consulting practices and family businesses across the city.On September 29, we are putting them all in one room.The AI Leap 2026 is a practical, jargon-free evening built for London. No hype. No vendor pitches. Real leaders talking honestly about what AI cost them, what it returned, and what they would do differently. Data sovereignty and guardrails. Honest ROI. The human side of leadership that no model can automate. More than 150 executives, founders and decision-makers are expected, alongside students from Western and Fanshawe. TechAlliance is hosting the after-party.That is the event. Here is the part we need you for.A night like this only matters if people hear about it. The right story, told well, in the right places. That is a marketing job, and it is the one we are recruiting for.If you make content, shoot photos, cut video, design, write or know how to get a message moving in this city — this is your role.Who We Are Looking ForYou do not need a tech background. You do not need to know what a large language model is. Curiosity is plenty.You are a great fit if you:Are 16 or olderHave some creative skill you enjoy using — content, photo, video, design, writing or outreachCan respond to messages and hit small deadlines over the next few weeksAre comfortable working with a bit of independenceBring your own device and the tools you already useWe especially welcome:Students in marketing, MIT, media, journalism, design or business at Western and Fanshawe. This counts toward community service hours, and the portfolio value is real.Career changers moving into marketing or creative work who need recent, credited pieces.Freelancers and early-career creatives who want visibility with London's business community.Newcomers to London looking to build a local network fast. This role puts you in front of a lot of the right people.What We ProvideFree full admission to The AI Leap 2026Access to the TechAlliance × AI Leap after-partyRefreshments on event nightBrand kit, content calendar, shot lists and clear briefs — you will never be guessingDirect feedback from our marketing and branding partnerFull credit on every published pieceAll assets to keep for your portfolioVolunteer hours confirmation, reference letters or LinkedIn recommendations on requestFirst call on creative roles at future AI Leap eventsTime CommitmentLight and flexible.About The AI LeapThe AI Leap is London, Ontario's practical AI event, presented by DLytica AI and supported by TechAlliance, Brango Solutions, Streaming Inc, EQ Rockstar and Omnipressence.Our aim is simple. Most AI conversations are either too technical or too salesy. Neither helps a business owner in London decide what to do on Monday morning. So we built an evening where real leaders share what worked, what it cost, and where the risks are — plus a direct bridge between local employers and the students building these skills right now.We think London can lead this conversation, not follow it. September 29 is where that starts.Learn more: https://www.ai-leap.ca Event details and registration: https://luma.com/qdd6r5ng LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-ai-leap-london/
