We&#8217;re looking for a volunteer who wants to help with making new infographics.

Alongside fossil fuels, it&#8217;s one of the most destructive forces on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>The simplest solution is to change our diet. We don&#8217;t have to become vegan, only to <strong>make meat a luxury product for the weekend<\/strong>. A lot of people are interested to eat more sustainably but don&#8217;t know where to start. That&#8217;s where Fork Ranger is going to help.<\/p>\n<p>The logo and app shown in the video below have changed a bit, but our approach hasn&#8217;t changed!<\/p>\n\t\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Solving Climate Change with Food\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cNovFnEBdOo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\t\n\t<p>It all started when Frank found out about the huge impact of meat but was frustrated with most vegetarian recipes. They had unknown ingredients or weren&#8217;t filling enough. So he created a book that explains the problem and gives &#8216;user-friendly&#8217; recipes. It has helped hundreds of people to eat less meat and now we&#8217;re turning this into a digital experience.<\/p>\n<p>Through recipes and food we want to inspire people to be part of the solution for a better world. We want people to feel like they can make a difference when it comes to climate change. It&#8217;s about offering a\u00a0<strong>new version of &#8216;the good life&#8217;<\/strong>\u00a0that is not centred around consumerism but a purposeful life.<\/p>\n<h3>What is Fork Ranger?<\/h3>\n<p>We are working towards our mission in three ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/fr-wp.cowdev.com\/download-app\/\">Fork Ranger app<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Selling the <a href=\"https:\/\/fr-wp.cowdev.com\/product\/book\/\">Fork Ranger book<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fr-wp.cowdev.com\/product\/seasonal-calendar\/\">seasonal calendar<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DOLjEsuCFb3\/\">Infographic videos<\/a> on social media<\/li>\n<li>Sharing the mission through speaking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<h2><b>The infographics<\/b><\/h2>\n\t<p>Infographics are the cornerstone of Fork Ranger.\u00a0The goal is translating complex scientific data into <em>insights<\/em> that help people.

He created the Fork Ranger book and then Mareike joined him to create the app.<\/p>\n<p>Mareike makes sure everything stays on track. She has a keen eye for details and structuring messy ideas. She&#8217;s also vegetarian since she&#8217;s 14 because somebody told her &#8216;you will never keep this up&#8217;.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fr-wp.cowdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2231-2.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2231 2\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1050\" width=\"1400\" title=\"IMG_2231 2\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<p>From left to right: Joost &#8211; Kevin &#8211; Jordi &#8211; Mareike &#8211; Louis &#8211; Melissa &#8211; Jesse &#8211; David &#8211; Casper &#8211; Frank (many more have joined who are not in this picture, but active members of the volunteering team)<\/p>\n\t<h3>Why do we work with volunteers?<\/h3>\n<p>Mareike and Frank work full-time on Fork Ranger and the rest of the team helps as volunteers.<\/p>\n<p>In the beginning, we were looking for investors. But it was tricky to align our mission with a business model. So we decided that we are a mission first, business second. Our goal became to be self-funded so we can stay independent. We are doing this by selling the book and seasonal calendar and through speaking. Last year, Mareike and Frank earned a bit less than minimum wage and our goal for this year is to get to a &#8216;normal&#8217; salary.<\/p>\n<p>We find it complicated to ask someone to do work for free. But we&#8217;ve also learned from our team that volunteer work brings a different kind of energy. It&#8217;s always about finding a win-win for everyone (besides contributing to the mission).<\/p>\n\t<h2><b>About You<\/b><\/h2>\n\t<p>Besides the practical points that you either speak Dutch or English there are three main things we&#8217;re looking for:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Good feeling for graphic design: <\/strong>You don&#8217;t need to be a professional designer but experience with design is necessary (including Adobe Illustrator). It&#8217;s not about making things look very fancy, but it requires a good eye for &#8216;balance&#8217; so the infographic won&#8217;t become messy or cluttered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interested in the data itself:<\/strong> creating great infographics only works if you also understand what you&#8217;re trying to communicate. You don&#8217;t have to do the research yourself but it&#8217;s a big benefit if you&#8217;re curious about it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Passion for infographics<\/strong>: this sounds obvious, but we mean that you have a passion for science communication and a drive to become really good at creating infographics.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fr-wp.cowdev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/one-does-not-80cdb31c7b.jpeg\" alt=\"one-does-not-80cdb31c7b\" itemprop=\"image\" title=\"one-does-not-80cdb31c7b\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<h2><b>The Job<\/b><\/h2>\n\t<ul>\n<li><strong>Responsibility<\/strong>: \n<ul>\n<li>Design infographics based on data we share with you. Sometimes it will be a simple infographic to create alone, other times you will work together with Frank.<\/li>\n<li>Depending on your preferences and how it goes you can also be involved in the research stage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Time commitment:<\/strong> a few hours a week. Ideally we would schedule a weekly short (on weekdays) but you could work on things in the evening or weekends.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salary<\/strong>: none<br \/>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong>:\u00a0\n<ul>\n<li>Remote is possible as most of the communication will be online (same timezone (Amsterdam) is preferred)<\/li>\n<li>Preferred: attendance of team events in the Netherlands at least once a year is important for the team spirit and makes working together a lot smoother<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>What&#8217;s in it for you?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>In short: learning how to make the best infographics and influence the food choices of thousands of people.<\/p>\n<p>We have learned a lot about making impactful infographics that we&#8217;d like to share with you.
