This is an unpaid, remote volunteer position.

Kiva’s Review and Translation Program partners with over 400 volunteers who support Kiva's mission of expanding financial access. They do so by editing, translating, and providing a policy review of loan profiles before they are posted on Kiva.org to fund. Each profile gives a snapshot of the borrower’s background and how they plan to use their loan, helping connect individuals with Kiva lenders.

Kiva Editors come from many different backgrounds, ranging from graduate students to retired professionals. All loan review is done online, making it easy to work from anywhere-whether it’s your dorm room, a hotel, or your favorite coffee shop!

As a Kiva Editor, you will:

• Edit loan profiles for grammar and punctuation errors.
• Check each loan profile for clarity and alignment with Kiva's policies.
• Important: Volunteers do not decide if borrowers get approved or denied for loans. This is done by Kiva and Lending Partners.
