Calling All Volunteer Editors!

Healthy NewsWorks is seeking volunteers with professional editing experience to help our growing program. A background in print or broadcast journalism is a plus!

Volunteer editors engage in varied editing assignments, including supporting Healthy NewsWorks teaching staff, providing input on student stories, and copyediting Healthy NewsWorks publications. 

The volunteer schedule is flexible and the role is virtual. Assignments can be project-specific or structured as an ongoing relationship. 

Beyond having a strong editing background, volunteers should be motivated to help young people develop their skills as writers and researchers who can ferret out facts and reliable sources.
