Volunteer
Look after your town's board
As volunteers join, each one looks after their own town's board. We are looking for people who already know the families in their town and can give a few minutes a week so the board stays friendly and useful.
What volunteers do
- Tidy up afterwards. Hide a notice in your town that does not belong, or correct one that needs it. Moderation is cleaning up, never a gate: nobody asks a volunteer before they post, reply or ask for help.
- Help with the Helpline. When someone needs to reach another town, our staff may ask a volunteer there to help.
- Start small. You can begin by keeping an eye on your town's board and telling us what needs attention, and take on more when you are ready.
What it asks of you
It is unpaid, and it fits around your life: a few minutes a week, mostly on your phone. You never read anyone's private messages, you see a member's email address only where you need it to tidy their note, and you are never asked to judge who belongs.
