From volunteer at leftforum.org Wed Sep 28 15:46:09 2011 From: volunteer at leftforum.org (Left Forum) Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2011 15:46:09 -0400 Subject: [Leftforumvolunteers] Left Forum Volunteer and Internship Opportunities - Please Help and Please Forward Message-ID: Dear friends: We?re writing to see if you might help out in this critical conference and action building period of the Left Forum (the conference will held be at Pace, *March 16-18th*, 2012). While Left Forum has always been an event that has been built and sustained by volunteers, with the conference growing as it has been (1,000 speakers came last time) your help is vitally important. Areas of internship and volunteer work include: - Program and Outreach Administration - Media and Publicity - Website and Database Coordination - Editorial and Digital Graphic Arts - Event Planning - Video and Social Media - Fundraising and Development People interested in Left media work will find unprecedented opportunities to source future stories, produce current topical stories, engage in hands on media and social media work, and develop working relationships with people in major progressive media outlets. In addition to working to create and encourage panels for the conference in one?s area of interest or activism the Program and Outreach Administration volunteer area offers unique opportunities to work with speakers and focus on issues and dialogues around activism that one feels strongly about. We are currently working with web developers to build up the website and database processes. This area of help would be ideal for people who want to further their digital-technological skills, careers, and experience. Teams are forming around all the areas mentioned above and we?d love to have you consider joining the effort. Internship announcements are attached below; shorter volunteer statements are available upon request and are posted on the website: leftforum.org. Interested applicants should contact Left Forum at volunteer at leftforum.org. We are located at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. If you have any please questions give us a call. Thank you so much for your help, Seth Adler Conference Coordinator Sacha Amry Volunteer Coordinator *About Left Forum:* Taking place each spring in New York City, Left Forum convenes the largest yearly conference of a broad spectrum Left and progressive intellectuals and organizers. Conference participants come together to share ideas to transform the world; to better understand commonalities, differences, and alternatives to current predicaments; and to engage a wide range of critical perspectives on the world. Left Forum 2011 drew about 4,000 participants, 1,000 speakers for 300 panels. Recent plenary speakers included Noam Chomsky, Arundhati Roy, and Cornel West. leftforum.org | left forum on Facebook | left forum on Twitter leftforum at leftforum.org | 212-817-2003 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
