December Volunteer Opportunities

pablove — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 17:18:52 +0000

Here are our Los Angeles volunteer opportunities for the month of December. Please note, we have extended hours and weekend opportunities available to accommodate those who work full-time but want to lend a hand!

Specialty Opportunity: Video Editor
We’re looking for an experienced editor to help with 7 hour long presentations from our recent symposium. Two camera job with basic slates needed for beginning and end. Must know how to work with raw high def footage and be able to output for web. Great opportunity for an AE who wants to add editing experience to their resume! Email megan@pablove.org.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE:

Data Entry
We’re grateful for the amount of donations we received during our Fall campaigns, which means we have to “catch up” on a lot of data entry. Only requirements are attention to detail and at least four hours commitment (45 minutes of training will be required). Bonus if you can bring your own laptop! Email megan@pablove.org.

Video Transcription
Our fall Shutterbugs group classes were a great success, but now we need your help transcribing courses and interviews with families! Previous transcription experience not necessary, but expect your heart to be warmed by the touching interviews with kids, parents and volunteers (Spanish speakers needed, too!). Email erin@pablove.org if you can help.

Merchandise Inventory
It’s time for our annual end-of-year merchandise inventory! The more volunteers we get, the quicker it will go! Perfect opportunity for groups and teens. Email megan@pablove.org.

True Pablove invite stuffing
Hard to believe, but True Pablove is just around the corner! This is an easy job, we just need a few extra hands to get it done! Email megan@pablove.org.
