Volunteers needed: Help transcribe interviews for AWARE’s research projects

September 25th, 2020 | News, Volunteering & Fundraising

Thank you for your interest! AWARE is no longer looking for volunteers to transcribe interviews.

The Advocacy, Research and Communications department conducts research on gender issues in Singapore, from single parents and low-income mothers to eldercare, migrant spouses and workers and more. As part of our research, we conduct interviews that are audio-recorded.

We require these audio recordings to be transcribed so that the content is accessible and easily searchable, and we can better identify patterns and trends. The findings from these interviews inform our policy recommendations to government agencies and relevant stakeholders.

Transcribers will assist with projects in many different areas. This way, they will have an opportunity to learn about the various programmes that AWARE is involved in.

If you want to put your keen listening and fast-typing skills to use, sign up to be a volunteer transcriber!

Requirements

  • Preferably have prior transcribing experience, although this is not a must
  • Able to communicate fluently in English and preferably one other language (Mandarin, Malay, Tamil)
  • Able to work remotely
  • Should be available for one (online) briefing session
