Our nonprofit organization, the Institute of Cultural Affairs, has been around for over 50 years. We work primarily on asset based community development and sustainability defined holistically to include environmental, economic, and social initiatives.

ICA staff is small and often wearing multiple hats - Though dedicated, we need a little help! There is an opportunity for technical tasks, storytelling, and a mix in-between.

Volunteering tasks may include(but are not limited to):

  • Hyperlinking and cross linking organizations and initiatives
  • Meta tagging and SEO
  • Data analysis of user traffic
  • Writing press releases
  • Crafting community member/initiative bios
  • Staff and Board bios
  • Community event reporting
This is a good opportunity for someone looking to gain more experience in communication and marketing! Please note that while we'll be flexible to your schedule, certain tasks may require you to volunteer on-site at 4750 N. Sheridan Road.

If you have any questions please email Caitlin at Csarro@ica-usa.org
