Are you interested in learning the ins and outs of a nonprofit organization in a challenging, rewarding environment? The nonprofit news organization WhoWhatWhy is seeking an HR Business Partner (volunteer) to help us lead our efforts and help us with some exciting HR projects.
Check out WhoWhatWhy.org. You’ll quickly see that, besides being a nonprofit news organization, we’re a credible solution to the raging debate over whether the news is "fake" or not, with agenda-free research and publishing through bracingly fresh analysis. Not left-wing, not right-wing, not consensus-seeking. We just want the truth -- whatever it is.
We are looking for a passionate, high energy individual who is excited about creating and implementing HR programs, structures, and processes. As a startup, we are looking for people who would bring structure and scale to the complex growth challenges of a nonprofit organization by rolling up their sleeves to get stuff done!

We also require a minimum commitment of 10-15 hours a week (Though doing more is not discouraged!).

All staff are required to respond to emails on a daily basis.
