Volunteer Opportunities
Progressive Global Commons is a non-profit Member collective that, as a Social Media & Resource Portal, acts as an Engine of Solidarity.
The Commons depends on active Members contributing to the strength of the Community with posts to the Commons Net along with Blogs, Articles, Photos, Videos, Links, Content Suggestions and as Commons Volunteers.
The foundation content flowing from Members is supplemented by Commons activists 24 hours a day. The process of providing meaningful content from Global sources, planing, original reporting, research, expanding resources and growing membership while expanding services and communications is the responsibility of Volunteers, Interns and Commons Staff.
The participation will be Online (Virtual) or in conjunction with a Commons facility or affiliate office. The Commons headquarters is in Olympia, WA, with available affiliate offices in Seatle WA, Madison WI, New York NY, and London England.
The Commons offers Volunteers many challenges
