Time Commitment: ~5–10 hours/week, flexible

About Us
WithMeWithYou / Conmigo-Contigo is a nonprofit that connects immigrants and asylum seekers with volunteer escorts—including veterans, clergy, and other allies—who accompany them to immigration hearings and check-ins. Our mission is to reduce fear, offer solidarity, and deter targeting by ensuring that no one faces the system alone.

We are developing a secure, user-friendly mobile app to support this work—helping immigrants request accompaniment and allowing volunteers to respond, connect, and coordinate safely and privately.

Position Overview
We are seeking a volunteer Mobile App Developer to help build, improve, and maintain our React-based app. You’ll collaborate directly with the founder and other volunteers to turn a working prototype into a polished, secure, and scalable tool.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and enhance features in our React (or React Native) app, including:

    • User authentication and login (Firebase/Google Auth)

    • Availability toggles and scheduling

    • Volunteer-immigrant matching logic

    • Secure, privacy-preserving forms and messaging

  • Connect to Firebase/Firestore backend and maintain real-time database interactions

  • Ensure responsiveness, accessibility, and ease of use across devices

  • Implement and test key features such as notifications, language localization, and user privacy protections

  • Collaborate with legal and design teams to align functionality with safety and usability standards

  • Identify opportunities to simplify and stabilize the codebase for a small volunteer tech team

Qualifications

  • Experience with React, React Native, or similar front-end frameworks

  • Familiarity with Firebase/Firestore, cloud functions, and basic user auth flows

  • Comfortable working independently and collaboratively in an early-stage environment

  • Experience with version control (e.g., Git), responsive design, and deployment best practices

  • Commitment to immigrant justice, dignity, and human rights

  • Bonus: Experience with accessibility (a11y), multilingual support, or nonprofit apps

Time Commitment
Estimated 5–10 hours/week, with flexibility depending on project phases. We value reliability and responsiveness more than hours logged.

What We Offer

  • The opportunity to build technology that directly protects and empowers people

  • Ownership of a meaningful product feature or end-to-end experience

  • Visibility as a founding tech contributor

  • A collaborative, purpose-driven team and a cause you can believe in
