Sugd Oblast’ covers the whole of Northern Tajikistan and is the home of ancient Sogdian culture and important trading posts on the old Silk Road. The regional government of Sugd recently approached VSO to identify a volunteer who can help them to translate investment promotion materials out of Russian into English and support and coach regional and district governments in Sugd to develop marketing materials including a website that will attract international investment into the oblast’.

We are looking for Russian speakers with high levels of verbal fluency and reading comprehension in Russian language, fluent spoken and written English (native standard) and some experience of basic web design packages and developing promotional materials, to live and volunteer in Khojand for between 7 months and 1 year starting some time between July and October. Diplomacy, adaptability, creativity and patience are essential attributes and potential candidates will need to attend VSO’s selection process, before attending international development skills training in the UK.

VSO provides a modest living allowance and the volunteer will be provided with their own bedroom, and shared facilities in a home-stay. The volunteer will receive Tajik lessons and have the opportunity to learn more about this fascinating and rich Central Asian culture.
