Global Disability Community Outreach & Participant Acquisition Specialist

### Help Visually Impaired Travellers Discover the World Imagine wanting to travel internationally, but hesitating because you are unsure whether the destination, support system or travel experience will truly understand your disability. We want to change that. We are **Rising Star Khilte Chehre (RSKC)**, an India-based nonprofit working to empower people with visual impairment and other disabilities through inclusive travel, confidence-building experiences and community participation. After around **20 inclusive journeys and 2,100+ lives touched**, our next international journey is to **Singapore & Malaysia, beginning 26 September 2026**. Our biggest challenge is no longer arranging the journey. **Our challenge is reaching visually impaired people around the world who would love to travel — but may not yet know that a supported opportunity like this exists.** That is where we need you. ### How This Journey Works For this programme, RSKC has partnered with an **independent professional travel company** experienced in planning and operating international travel. The two parties have clearly different responsibilities. The **travel company handles the commercial travel arrangements**, including the programme operations and collection of the traveller's payable package amount. **RSKC does not collect the participant's tour/package payment in its own account.** Participants pay their applicable rebated programme cost **directly to the travel company**. RSKC's role is different. We contribute our experience of travelling with visually impaired people, oversee the inclusiveness and support aspects of the programme, provide volunteers and help ensure that participants receive the sensitivity, assistance and confidence needed to enjoy the journey. RSKC is also **subsidising part of the programme cost from its own charitable/donor-supported resources**, thereby reducing the amount payable by the participant. Where such subsidy is applicable, RSKC pays its contribution directly towards the programme through proper documented accounting/receipts. **RSKC does not earn any commission, mark-up or commercial profit from a participant joining this journey.** Our objective is to make an otherwise difficult travel opportunity more accessible to people with visual impairment. ### What Travellers Receive The programme includes a **4-night / 5-day supported Singapore-Malaysia experience**. The itinerary, on-ground arrangements, volunteer support and disability-sensitive assistance have already been planned. Because of RSKC's contribution, the programme is being offered at approximately **25–30% below the normal equivalent cost**. Participants may join from **any country in the world**. Each participant remains responsible for arranging and paying for: * Their travel/airfare to reach Singapore * Applicable visa costs * Any other personal travel costs outside the defined programme A visually impaired participant may also travel with a friend or family member if they wish. ### Your PRIMARY Mission: Bring Us Participants We are looking for an exceptional **Global Disability Community Outreach & Participant Acquisition Specialist**. Your main objective is to identify and reach **individual visually impaired people who are interested in travelling** and convert that interest into genuine enquiries and participants. You may reach them through: * Disability and visually impaired communities * Facebook groups and other online communities * Social-media platforms * Accessible-travel communities * Disability influencers, creators and advocates * WhatsApp, Telegram and other relevant community networks * Blindness associations and disability NGOs * Community leaders and administrators * Relevant travel and disability forums * Friends, families and caregivers connected with the disability community Organisations and influencers matter to us primarily because they can help us **reach more potential travellers**. ### What Success Looks Like We are not interested simply in reports saying: “100 organisations contacted.” We want measurable movement: **People reached → enquiries generated → genuine conversations → qualified interested travellers → registrations / participants.** You will be expected to: * Identify where visually impaired travellers gather online and offline * Reach individuals and communities personally * Create and execute outreach campaigns * Engage disability influencers and community administrators * Encourage relevant organisations to circulate the opportunity to their members * Respond to and nurture interested leads * Follow up consistently * Help overcome hesitation and build confidence in prospective participants * Maintain a transparent tracker of outreach, enquiries, conversations and conversions ### Global Means Global We are not restricting participation to selected countries. We want to reach travellers across **Asia-Pacific and the entire world** — including Southeast Asia, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, India, the Middle East, Europe, North America and anywhere else genuine interest exists. The participant simply needs to reach Singapore independently; the supported programme begins from there. ### Social Media & Community Growth This assignment is not limited to sending emails. We want someone who understands how to use **social media, communities, influencers and direct outreach intelligently** to find the right people. If you know how to turn an unknown opportunity into conversations, shares, referrals, enquiries and registrations, we want to hear from you. ### Secondary Opportunity: Sponsors & Supporters Our primary goal is participant acquisition. However, if your outreach also uncovers: * Donors * Philanthropists * Corporate sponsors * CSR opportunities * Foundations * Organisations interested in sponsoring visually impaired travellers we would be happy to explore those opportunities as well. But fundraising is **not the main KPI for this assignment**. ### What We Do NOT Want We do not want: * Scraped databases with no engagement * Hundreds of cold emails with no follow-up * Social-media posting without measurable results * PowerPoint presentations instead of execution * Marketing strategies that remain theoretical * Reports showing activity but no genuine participant enquiries **We care about conversations, qualified interest and actual participation.** ### Who We Would Love to Work With Experience in several of the following would be highly valuable: * Community growth * Participant/member/customer acquisition * Social-media outreach * Influencer outreach * Disability community engagement * Lead generation and conversion * International community building * Accessible travel * NGO/nonprofit outreach * Event or programme participant recruitment Existing experience with disability, blindness, accessibility or inclusive-travel communities would be a major advantage. Excellent written and spoken English is essential. ### Please Understand RSKC Before Applying Before applying, please search online for **“Rising Star Khilte Chehre (RSKC)”** and spend some time understanding our journeys, people and impact. We want someone who connects with the mission — but who also knows how to execute and produce measurable results. Please keep all pre-contract communication through Upwork. ### Paid 7-Day Live Trial Shortlisted candidates will be offered a **paid 7-day real-world trial**. We do not want another presentation telling us what you *could* do. During the trial, we want to see you actually: * Identify the right traveller communities * Find relevant individuals, influencers and community channels * Begin approved outreach * Generate genuine enquiries * Follow up * Start conversations with potential participants * Show measurable progress Strong performers can continue with us for the complete Singapore-Malaysia campaign and potentially future international RSKC initiatives. **We are looking for someone who can help a visually impaired person somewhere in the world discover an opportunity they may have thought was not available to them — and then help turn that interest into a real journey.** If you can combine empathy with outreach, community growth and conversion, we would love to hear from you.
