Volunteer Interest & Placement Form

People’s Press welcomes Imperial Valley volunteers interested in video, social media, writing, photography, research, editing, translation, events, website support, and community outreach.

You do not need to do everything or have professional experience. Tell us what you care about, what you can realistically contribute, and what support you may need.

Submitting this form is an application for placement. It does not guarantee acceptance, an assignment, publication, payment, account access, or a specific role. If there appears to be a good fit, People’s Press will contact you about a proposed placement and the next steps.
