VOLUNTEER
Open Volunteer Positions
Our online presence is planned, built and maintained entirely by volunteers. We have big plans for the website, including multi-language support, a bookstore, and a community for peace and ethics education. These features will take us a big step on the way to fulfilling our vision of the website as a major portal for peace, ethics, and altruism.
From a technical standpoint we're ready to take this next step now, but to do it we need a few key volunteers willing to take on some significant responsibilities for producing, editing and translating content.
Check out the job descriptions listed below. It's a great way to make your contribution to our mission of "supporting action for peace and ethics, where we live, and around the world." And the great thing about these jobs is they can be done where you live, wherever around the world that is!
