Interested in helping out? The Sierra Club Central Ohio Group (COG) has the following volunteer opportunities:

• Publicity Coordinator/Team
  This person would work with the COG Executive Committee to help get the word out about our events and advocacy efforts. Responsibilities include distributing the newsletter to local libraries, placing notices of events in local newspapers, and helping develop the Group’s presence on the web (see below). Our goal is for the coordinator to lead a team of volunteers who share these responsibilities. The responsibilities require anywhere from 2 – 6 hours a month.
   
• Social Networking
  The COG is interesting in expanding our presence on the web! We’re looking for a computer-savvy member who can help create and maintain a Sierra Club Central Ohio social networking site (such as Facebook). The idea is to open new channels of communication with current, new, and potential members. This effort is estimated to require about 2-8 hours a month after initial set-up.
   
• Volunteer Liaison with F.L.O.W.
  We are looking for someone who will be the volunteer liaison for our river cleanup work with Friends of the Lower Olentangy Watershed. Responsibilities include helping to recruit volunteers for the cleanups. The work is seasonal (summer months) and the responsibilities require about 2 hours a month.
   
• Membership Volunteers
  We are looking for volunteers to help our Membership Chair connect with and maintain contact with our members. Responsibilities include attending as many monthly program meetings as you can, making phone calls, and some data entry to keep our lists up to date. These responsibilities are estimated to require about 3-8 hours a month.
   
• Calendar Sales Coordinator/Team
  This person would be the main contact for selling the Sierra Club calendars. The work is seasonal (October – December) and involves receiving orders, distributing calendars, and collecting money. The position only requires several hours of work for the three months at the end of the year, and does not require cold-call selling. If you can help the club out with a few hours each month for the last 3 months of the year, we’d love to hear from you.
