Remote Summer Volunteers Needed

Save to Favorites

The Community is currently seeking volunteers to help with our ongoing meaningful project to help create high-quality educational packets for incarcerated individuals to utilize before re-entry into communities. These packets are intended to help better prepare individuals for diverse career opportunities after incarceration.

Volunteers will not be paid but will work on smaller tasks within the project packets. This volunteer work is remote with a possibility of being assigned to a collaborative team on the educational packet they are assigned to.

Qualifications for volunteers:

-Ideal applicants are upper-level undergraduates, and graduate students but will consider those with strong writing and research skills.

-Must have computer and internet access (this is a remote project)

-Must have strong writing and research skills (we will ask for a sample of your writing and research ability)

-Attention to detail

-Must know and be able to use Google Drive, Docs, etc.

-Have strong initiative; is a self-starter, but able to accept corrections and/or constructive criticism

Educational packets that are being created through this project will have a heavy focus on having all packets maintain the needs of those awaiting re-entry meaning that:

• All information is researched and vetted thoroughly through different sources;
• Written for the specific audience;
• Deeply considerate of the circumstances and language used in the document;
• Be able to overcome challenges by problem-solving and collaborating with your team (if you have one);
• Understanding the circumstances of the packets and people reading them

We are already working on this project, therefore, interviews will be conducted and assignments assigned as soon as possible.
