We are looking for a volunteer to help us regulate our written content here at Trama Textiles!
Trama Textiles is a cooperative of female Maya backstrap loom weavers across Guatemala.
Our cooperative was formed in 1988 after some of the most devastating years of the Guatemalan civil war.
During this period, many Maya men were lost: grandfathers, fathers, brothers, and sons. As a result, the women across our communities united and decided to use their skills as weavers to support themselves and their families. This led to the birth of Trama Textiles. Since then, our cooperative has provided a sense of purpose and empowerment and enabled the possibility of a brighter future.
Today we work directly with 100 women from 17 weaving communities across 5 regions in the Western Highlands; Sololá, Huehuetenango, Sacatepéquez, Quetzaltenango, and Quiché. We also collaborate with various individual weavers and artisans across the country who play a crucial role in Trama’s success.
Everyone is encouraged to apply, we would like multiple team members.
Duties include but are not limited to:
- Blog posts
- Research
- Newsletters
- Email campaigns
- Press releases
- Copywriting
- Translating Span/English
