Hi everyone,

The Content Volunteer Team at 7 Cups is being restructured and is now open to join for several roles!

Are you interested in using your writing skills for change? If content writing or editing interests you, the 7 Cups Content Volunteer Team might be a team to get involved in!

Aims:

The Content Volunteer Team will be working on improving the quality of our existing content pages, including our Question and Answer spaces, alongside our Expert Mental Health News and Advice sections.


Open to both listeners and members, consider joining if you:

  • Are passionate about improving the existing content at 7 Cups
  • Have creative ideas for future content
  • Are ready to contribute towards more expert mental health news and advice

With opportunities that involve writing and editing alongside interesting interviews and story, facts, and research-based content, the Content Volunteer Team is a great opportunity to pour your passion for writing or even learn new skills and teamwork opportunities.

Although there are no strict requirements to join we ask you to dedicate your time and effort as often as you can! A minimum three-month commitment is a suggested time period for effective experience and team collaboration. We are excited to build a great team of writers and contributors!

Want to Join but feel like you would like some extra guidance? Consider joining the Content Development and Marketing (CDM) Academy Program!

CDM Graduates are strongly encouraged to apply to join the Team.

Please note that you will need to share an accurate, active email address as it will be used for primary team communications. Please also consider adding/white-listing the following address to make sure you receive emails: ayesha@7cups.com

Some of the current roles and their respective task descriptions that the Content Team is looking help with are:

  1. Writers (Shorter forms of writing including improvements to existing Q&A Content as well as contributing fresh article content)

  • As a writer for shorter forms of content, you will be expected to contribute at least 10 Q&A tasks per month. Writers are expected to submit at least 1 article per month.

  1. Editorial Assistants

  • As an editorial assistant, you will be trained to edit articles with various focuses, some including CDM trainee submissions, therapist submissions, as well as other forms of editing of fresh as well as existing content.

  • This role requires proactiveness, with a minimum of 1 article edited per assistant.

  • Editorial Assistants can also help with other editorial needs.

@SoulfullyAButterfly
Just wanted to point out something about the application form. If I'm applying for the editorial assistant role, answering the question about "specific task for writer role" still appears as compulsory. I'm unable to submit the form without answering all compulsory questions. Could you please look into the matter?

@SoulfullyAButterfly

Similar question as mentioned above. It seems that all questions are required, even though there's one question I don't feel I need to answer in order to apply for the role desired.

Or should we just put an "N/A" to questions we prefer to skip?

@cuteeeezombieeee @11820Read - thank you for pointing this out, it has been corrected.

Hey, This seems like a really good opportunity. I have applied for this. 😍

@SoulfullyAButterfly

Hiii! this sounds great!

Is the one article edited per assistant, per month or how often? What happens if I need to take a break around exam period, is it possible to pick it up again e.g., for the next month? Around how long does it take to edit an article?

Also with the recommendation letter, would it be considered work experience or volunteering? I need to fulfil a required number of hours for my school, of work exp. and also volunteering, would this be able to be used for that?

Thank you so much! :)

@snugglesnow Hi Snuggles, thanks for your questions

Yes it is 1/month and you can do more if you have time. Yes, you can take a break and still stay on the team provided you inform me. Yes, I do personally offer a recommendation letter after 3 months on the team and it would state the details of your contributions. 7 Cups also offers recommendation letters for other things - you can read more about this here

As for the time it takes to edit, it varies per article but is about 1-2 hours maximum. If you want to give it a try, you can contact me.
