Rebuilding lives. Together.
Graphic Designer (Intern, Volunteer, Remote)
What is Duet?
Duet is an online philanthropic platform that enables donors to provide meaningful aid to vulnerable families in a more dignified, efficient, and personal way. Families request the exact items they need to rebuild their lives, and donors pay for those items on their behalf. We currently provide support to refugee families in Greece, and have delivered COVID-19 relief in LA as well.
Who is Duet?
We are a group of 9 students and recent graduates who are building Duet out of the Innovation in Engineering Design for Global Challenges class. We have been operating since March 2019. Since then, we have facilitated over $75,000 in donations and built a donor community of over 500 members.
Duet has been featured in Viterbi News and Marshall News.
