Subject Matter Expert (SME) Coordinator Positions
These unpaid volunteer positions will require time primarily in the months of May and June. We need some SMEs who can be proactive in looking for things that need to be done, primarily updating content on official channels based on things which are tagged in the Discord server.
If you are selected to fill the position, you will be invited to a coordinator group chat on Discord, and you are allowed to have helpers who report to you directly. In these volunteer roles, you are expected to use your best judgment and not be micromanaged.
Social Media Specialist
The current social media platforms utilized are Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Buffer is being used to schedule posts.
You are encouraged to assemble a team of your choosing to help. Some of the bullet points under Desired Knowledge can be a full volunteer position all their own; however, we need someone who is familiar enough with the requirements to be able to direct others to accomplish these tasks.
Volunteer Application
Desired knowledge
- Proactive crafting of promotional messages for events
- Ideal scheduled time windows for posts
- Best practices for hashtags, mentions, and sharing
- Creating promotional images (i.e. Canva, Photoshop, etc)
Why We're Doing This
The Trevor Project has worked to build a safer, more-inclusive world for the past twenty-five years. Their crisis counselors are trained to answer calls, chats, or texts from LGBTQ+ young people who reach out on a free, confidential hotline when they are struggling with issues such as coming out, LGBTQ+ identity, depression, and suicide. They also provide education, peer support, legal advocacy, and other tools, all in pursuit of their vision of a world where all LGBTQ+ young people see a bright future for themselves.
Many Fabulous Marines participants wish they had a resource like The Trevor Project when they were growing up and figuring things out. We understand the importance of helping people with feeling accepted and offering guidance during the turmoil of figuring things out about themselves and their relationships with others.
Additionally, we know the value of having resources available to help understand how best to support loved ones. We believe education on the topics of sexualities and genders is necessary for the entirety of the community as a whole, allies and LGBTQ+ folks alike.
