New York City Skeptics is looking for volunteers to help with our events and activities. Our volunteers come from all walks of life, but each shares a desire to promote skepticism and skeptical inquiry.

While we are based in New York City, many of our needs are not location-dependent and can be done via the internet. We welcome the help of dedicated skeptics located anywhere in the world!

Currently we are seeking:

• Website administrator – Maintenance of NYCS website, including organization, design, and technical issues. Prior experience is required and familiarity with Drupal or other web development software is a significant plus.
• Graphic designer – Creation of web ads, printed flyers, and other artwork for NYCS projects.
• E-bulletin editor – Take responsibility for creation of the semi-monthly NYCS e-mail distribution list. Familiarity with HTML, phplist, or other e-mail distribution software is a significant plus.
• Media Coordinator – Draft press releases, contact local media regarding listing of NYCS events, and develop press contacts for possible coverage of NYCS events and activities. Prior experience in the publicity field is strongly preferred.
• Events Coordinator – Conduct ongoing search for appropriate venues for NYCS events; manage and coordinate Events Volunteers; manage any issues with guest speakers (including any equipment requirements, reserved seating for guests, and signing talent releases).
• Photographer – Document NYCS activities and events. Must have prior photography experience and knowledge of professional/pro-sumer camera equipment. The ability to provide your own camera equipment is a significant plus.
• Accountant – a CPA (preferably experienced in non-profit issues) to handle NYCS tax filings and 501(c)(3) issues.
• Attorney – a lawyer (preferably experienced in non-profit issues) to advise NYCS regarding various legal matters, including 501(c)(3) issues.
