Omnilore Volunteer Opportunities

Omnilore is run almost entirely on volunteer labor. Johan Smith, our administrative assistant, is our only paid employee, and a part-time employee at that! Obviously, we could not exist without the dedicated efforts of scores of giving people who make their time and skills available for our worthwhile organization.

Please consider taking your turn assisting us. In the process, we guarantee you'll make many new friends and have the opportunity to exercise your many latent work and creative skills.

Only you can figure out how your skills might best be utilized within our organization. Explore the varied opportunities the exist within Omnilore by taking the links below. Then take the plunge and make your interest known to the proper contact person.

[Note: Most of the links below are in our Members Only Website (password required). This page is placed here, in the General Information area of the Website so that nonmembers, contemplating joining our organization, can see the large variety of interesting and stimulating volunteer opportunities that are available to members.]

• serve as an Officer or in a Support Contact position.
  If you are interested in one of these elected or appointed positions, the best place to start is to talk to one or more of the Members-at-Large. These officers can give you valuable advice and steer you toward other individuals that you may need to talk with about your interests.
   
• be an SDG Coordinator or Co-Coordinator.
  On each trimester's registration form, you're asked if you'd like to be a coordinator or co-coordinator for any of your requested SDGs. Don't hesitate to check the "Yes" box—you'll have plenty of support and training from the Head Coordinator.
   
• serve on the Computer Working Group or the Website Working Group.
  If you are interested in one of these Groups, contact the Chair and ask to be invited to their next meeting. The current chair of the Computer Working Group is Rick Spillane. If you are interested in joining the Website Working Group, contact our Omnilore Communications Chair. If the Group seems like a good fit, let the Chair know and see what happens.
   
• serve on the Curriculum Committee.
  As a member of this Committee, you will help our organization put together the best possible course offerings for our members to select from each trimester. If you are interested in this opportunity, contact the Curriculum Chair.
   
• serve as Newsletter volunteer.
  You can help as a proofreader, a staff writer, or an editor. If you are interested contact the Newsletter Editor
   
• organize a new Special Interest Group.
  There is detailed information on this page about how you might go about starting a new Group.
   
• help in small ways on discrete projects.
  If you want to help in a small way on discrete projects that various Board members may be involved in, again the best place to start is to talk to one or more of the Members-at-Large. These officers can steer you toward the right project and contact person.
