E&GJ Press, a part of the non-profit Empire & Great Jones Creative Arts Foundation, is an all-volunteer organization. From the readers who review submissions to the organizers who share our updates on social media—and even our editor-in-chief—E&GJ Press is staffed entirely by goodwill.

To ensure that our volunteers feel their contributions are meaningful, and to help us effectively accept the time and talents they offer, we rely on the crucial support of the Volunteer Coordinator team.

As a member of the Volunteer Coordinator team, you will:

• Communicate with current volunteers to encourage engagement, to answer questions (or to find the person who can answer them),  and to demonstrate that we value them and their time
• Maintain a list of roles, activities, and tasks performed by volunteers at E&GJ Press and keep track of which volunteers perform them
• Post role descriptions like this for open opportunities or areas we need more help with—this may include listings at colleges and universities, since students can receive internship credit for their work at E&GJ Press
• Review volunteer applications and participate in the acceptance process—not every volunteer who applies is brought on board; we do review qualifications and ask accepted applicants to sign a volunteer agreement
• Welcome new volunteers to E&GJ Press, introduce them to everyone, and help them find the tools and websites we use to enable a fully-remote team to work from anywhere in the world
• Perform technical tasks of adding new user accounts for volunteers and configuring access permissions—or quickly bring on a new volunteer who can help with the technical side of this

Minimum Qualifications

• Must be willing to commit to 6 months minimum in this volunteer role
• Must have a stable internet connection and a modern web browser
• Must be age 18 or older—college degree or work experience preferred
