#Ballotpedia Spring 2024 #Volunteer #Fellowship Program (Remote)

The Spring 2024 Fellowship Program will run from Monday, February 19, 2024 through Friday, - April 12, 2024. Fellows are asked to contribute 5-10 hours of work per week, which can be completed at their discretion in order to accommodate school schedules, extracurricular activities, and work commitments. Fellows need access to a computer or laptop and a reliable internet connection.
...
One of Ballotpedia’s most exciting projects is our Candidate Connection Survey, a list of questions designed to help voters get to know candidates on a personal and political level. Good candidate information can be hard to find, especially at the local level. By helping us reach candidates in our scope who have not completed their profile and filled out the survey, you can help hundreds of thousands of monthly Ballotpedia users find more comprehensive coverage of the candidates on their ballot.

Fellows can indicate interest in specific projects as part of their application. We cannot guarantee that fellows will be assigned to their first choice project, and while projects are subject to change, we will make every effort to ensure that each fellow has an opportunity to learn skills that will benefit them in future careers in politics, journalism, or other fields."...

Unpaid #social #media moderators perform #labor worth $3.4 million a year on #Reddit alone

source: https://techxplore.com/news/2022-06-unpaid-social-media-moderators-labor.html

The social networking platform Reddit relies on #volunteer moderators to prevent the site from being overrun by problematic content—including hate speech—and ensure that it remains appealing for users. Though uncompensated, this labor is highly valuable to the #company: According to a pair of new studies led by Northwestern University computer scientists, it's worth at minimum $3.4 million per year, which is equivalent to 2.8% of Reddit's 2019 revenue.

AEA BETHLEHEM SHELTER - Promoting animal welfare

AEA Bethlehem Shelter

Animal Environment Associated (AEA) in #Bethlehem #Palestine is the only animal #shelter situated in the #WestBank. Founded by Diana Babish in 2016, the organisation provides a safe environment for thousands of #dogs and #cats and works with the local authorities to prevent the poisoning and shooting of dogs as a brutal form of animal control. AEA-Bethlehem is the only shelter that provides #treatment to injured dogs, cats and other #animals, and arranges formal animal #fostering and adaptions. They also provide #spay and #neutering services to the animals in their care, and to those who will be adopted. AEA-Bethlehem is also working to change policies that allow the abuse and the poisoning of dogs without penalty and for vets that witness these atrocities to be held accountable.. AEA-Bethlehem receives no government #funding, relying completely on urgently needed #donations. They also encourage local people to #volunteer at the shelter and visit schools to educate children about #AnimalWelfare and the #environment.
