LSS-SW needs high quality digital images to tell our story. Photos will be used for website, e-newsletter, printed materials, and more. We are looking for Volunteer Reporters to take professional quality photos and conduct short interviews with our clients and staff.

• Possess sensitivity regarding privacy and safety of our clients.
• Take staged and candid shots using personal camera
• Complete any necessary editing on their personal computer with preferred software.
• Collect photo releases at each shoot

• The volunteer's photography skills can be professional or amateur, but the ideal volunteer will have confidence in their skills, and also be willing to offer professional advice and input.
• The ideal volunteer will have intermediate or advanced photography and/or editing skills with their own equipment.

Volunteer will be working at various program sites and/or client homes. Volunteer will do technical work from volunteers own home. All photographs taken are property of LSS-SW.

This role requires a fingerprint clearance card ($75), volunteers are responsible for the cost. All LSS-SW volunteers are required to complete a Central Registry background check (no cost) during the volunteer orientation. Further training will be provided.
