We are looking for volunteers who have hidden talents and are willing to help us out.
Perhaps you have experience from your working life, or with another community group?
Perhaps you have a passion to learn a new skill? We’d love to talk to you.
Please note, you can do all these tasks from the comfort of your own home. Some training might need to be at GSV.
Marketing
We are reviving the marketing team with the aim of looking at what our members want, are we reaching enough of our members?, how do we attract new members? Perhaps you have experience growing membership, or in conducting member surveys? We’d love to talk to you about it. Please contact Jackie via gsv@gsv.org.au
Website
We’d love more volunteers to help us with creating and updating website content on a regular basis. You will need reasonable computer skills. It would be great if you have some writing and editing skills, basic image editing skills and the ability to create user-friendly content layouts. Some training can be provided. Please contact Tom via gsv@gsv.org.au
Blog creators
Content creators need some basic writing skills to write or edit info sent to them. As many discussion circles now share 350 word stories, that would be a perfect background for this role. Please contact Jackie via gsv@gsv.org.au.
Webcast editors
Do you have experience with editing videos? We have a backlog of recordings waiting to be edited and added to our webcast library. We currently use the Macintosh program iMovie and it would be great if you have some experience using this. If not, we can train you. Alternatively if you have experience or skills using a Windows video editing program we would love to hear from you. The editing can be done from home. Please contact us by emailing education@gsv.org.au
Ancestor contributions
We welcome the submission of articles from both GSV members and non-members on family history topics for possible publication in our journal. We especially encourage new writers and we look for, and appreciate, stories and research which break new ground. See the website for details: https://www.gsv.org.au/submit-an-article. Editorial assistance will be provided for articles accepted for publication.
