Support ThreeSixty as a volunteer!
Thank you for your interest in supporting ThreeSixty’s youth storytellers as a volunteer.
We are recruiting for volunteers to support with the 2025 Opinion Writing Workshop. If you cannot make the dates, you can Sign up as a General Interest volunteer to be notified of future opportunities.

- Work with 2 students in the early stages of their opinion piece. Students will have selected a timely topic and will need guidance from you on drafting/outlining their argument. Opinion pieces need to blend personal connection to the topic with research & evidence. Help your student blend the two early on, such as through conducting basic research and discussion/conversation.

Work with 2 students to complete their opinion pieces. Students will have completed the majority (80%+) of their opinion piece. Editors will check for tone, style, word choice and more to make sure the stories are cogent and provide new insight on the topic.

Who can volunteer with ThreeSixty?
We are looking for volunteers with interest and experience in writing, storytelling, editing, journalism, multimedia, interviewing, and youth mentoring. Occasionally, we seek volunteers with more specific skills such as political reporting, creative writing, networking and career coaching, and opinion/column writing. We have had volunteers with backgrounds in print media, radio and audio, film, corporate communications, public relations, grant writing, technical writing, and more!
ThreeSixty works with youth from under-represented backgrounds whose communities’ stories have been absented from media. Successful volunteers will be able to work with students from different backgrounds and support them in developing their unique voice. Help us share the word – we are looking specifically to grow our volunteer base with those who are young/early career professionals, from under-represented backgrounds, and working in non-traditional roles within media and journalism.
Training
ThreeSixty volunteer shifts begin with a 30-minute training and mingling with coffee and snacks. We strongly encourage new and old volunteers to attend this half-hour session to meet fellow media professionals & journalists, learn more about ThreeSixty’s culture and learning goals, and receive support on working with our youth storytellers.
