Volunteer Photographer

Save to Favorites

Community Involvement Programs (CIP) offers a broad scope of programs that help people with disabilities and mental health diagnoses live their greatest lives and promotes wellness, safety and recovery. CIP as part of its efforts to better promote its programs and gain support for its work is seeking professional and amateur photographers for future events.

Description:
While there is not currently an opening for a volunteer photographer, CIP periodically has volunteer photography opportunities. If and when a volunteer opportunity arises they are onetime events usually lasting one and a half to three hours. In the past, volunteer photographers have practiced their photography skills at CIP pancake breakfasts, social fundraisers, administrative offices and service locations.

Qualifications:

• Relevant experience
• Reliable transportation

Benefits to Volunteer:

• Practice the art form of photography and apply it to a new venue
• Feel good knowing you are helping a non-profit promote its disability support services
• Sometimes perks like free food and entrance to CIP social events

Orientation:
The volunteer would go through a very brief orientation at CIP. He or she will learn the history and philosophy of CIP, vulnerable adult policy, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, mental health diagnosis training, and other volunteer policies and procedures.

Commitment and Location:

Future volunteer photography opportunities are offered in the Twin Cities region where CIP is headquartered and may take place at Twin Cities community locations and CIP offices and service sites. All opportunities would require a one-time commitment of one and a half to three hours.
