Sports and Activism Bloggers Wanted (Flexible/work from home)
Reply to: job-707586187@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-06-04, 12:08PM PDT
Who We Are
YouthNoise.com is a nonprofit social networking site that provides a
space for young activists to write, connect, learn and act to create
positive change in the world. We empower young people everywhere to
catapult their passion and idealism into movements to sustain the planet.
YouthNoise is partnering with the Nike Let Me Play campaign, a global
initiative dedicated to supporting community-based sports programs and
providing athletic opportunities for youth. Let Me Play will engage
young people (ages 17 to 24) in ways to use athletics to support
worthwhile causes.
Position Overview
We are looking for five Let Me Play bloggers who are passionate about
both sports and social change to be the voice of this campaign. Maybe
you can't get enough of rugby or dancing or even Wii tennis. Or maybe
you're a walking sports encyclopedia who has a life-size cardboard
cutout of Dirk Nowitzki and can rattle off batting averages for every
Red Sox player in the last ten years. If you get excited about using
sports for social good and you are a talented and entertaining writer,
we want to hear from you. Two bloggers will be assigned specifically
to cover content of interest to the Los Angeles and New York
geographic areas, but all bloggers can work from any location in the
United States. Bloggers will be paid a monthly stipend of $500.
Let Me Play bloggers will be responsible for posting relevant,
creative and youth-friendly content on a daily basis. Each blogger
will have his or her own space on the YouthNoise site to create a
personalized, lively blog that will generate community feedback and
involvement. Bloggers will also serve as community managers for their
blogs and will follow them with stalkerish obsession.
Responsibilities:
• Covering news and events related to Let Me Play's mission and
offering pertinent commentary
• Profiling people or organizations doing projects to promote sports
for good
• Collaborating with the rest of the Let Me Play staff to integrate
ongoing online and offline happenings
• Attending weekly phone calls and keeping up regular contact with the
YouthNoise Web Producer
• Reading and responding to user comments and guiding online
conversations in a constructive direction
• Monitoring the blog for inappropriate comments and redirecting
conversations to the proper forum if necessary (message boards,
debates, etc.)
Qualifications:
• Excellent written and verbal communications skills (a big plus if
you have photography or video skills)
• Blogging and/or social networking experience (finally, all those
hours you spent on Facebook will come in handy)
• A fabulous sense of humor! Really. We love all things quirky,
ironic, irreverent and silly, and we are looking for kindred spirits.
• A stellar ability to find cool, interesting things online and get
other people interested in them
How to Apply
We don't like reading boring cover letters any more than you like
writing them. Instead, answer the following questions in a
conversational e-mail that will give us a sense of your writing style.
Send to Gillian Dicker, Web Producer, at gillian@youthnoise.org , along
with an updated resume and at least three writing samples (preferably
URLs to blog entries).
1. Why do you think you'd be a good Let Me Play blogger? Briefly
describe why you're interested in the position and outline any
experience that would be helpful.
2. What is the most interesting piece of sports or activist news,
gossip or hilarity that you've found online in the last week? Attach a
link and write a few sentences about why you like it.
3. What is the greatest YouTube video you've ever seen? Include a link
and a brief description (bonus points if it is in the form of a haiku).
4. If your life had a theme song, what would it be?
* Location: Flexible/work from home
* Compensation: $500 monthly stipend
* Telecommuting is ok.
* This is a part-time job.
* This is at a non-profit organization.
* Principals only. Recruiters, please don't contact this job poster.
* Please, no phone calls about this job!
* Please do not contact job poster about other services, products
or commercial interests.
