VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
TEDxOakPark is an entirely volunteer-run movement, and we invite you to join us! Whether your passion is design, communications, partnerships or events, we’re looking for people of all backgrounds who are interested in making an impact in our community.
All opportunities have flexible time commitments and will run throughout our current season, ending in Fall 2025. If you are interested in any of these positions, please email us at volunteering@tedxoakparkwomen.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR
The main goal of the Volunteer Coordinator is to help us plan the TEDxOakPark events, and to ensure we have enough (happy & committed) volunteers to fulfill our needs. To meet that goal, the Volunteer Coordinator performs a variety of tasks involving recruitment, training, scheduling and communication. In addition, this volunteer will help us plan our upcoming speaker-volunteer mixer.
The ideal person is well-organized, flexible and has experience coordinating volunteer programs or managing teams. Experience with Sign-up Genius and Google Suite is a big plus. The time commitment is flexible, though you will need to be available the day of the event.
MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS TEAM
Digital Marketing Support: This volunteer will work with the marketing team to provide support, as needed. Responsibilities may include building and sending eblasts, social media post creation and deployment, and/or editing text and photos on our website. Experience in Mailchimp or Squarespace is strongly preferred, but not necessary, as long as you're willing to learn.
OUTREACH TEAM
Help spread the word that TEDxOakPark is in the community. If you’ve got a couple hours to spare and are interested in chatting with locals in your area, reach out to us about how you can help us share the news about the TEDx Movement throughout the fall and winter.
EVENT SUPPORT
Between 5-20 volunteers are selected per TEDxOakPark event to help coordinate week-of, day-of activities. We always ask our previous volunteers how they’d like to be involved as the event rolls out. But we will invite others to join us on event days to help everything run smoothly!
For more information, unique volunteer ideas, or to apply for a specific position, please email us at volunteering@tedxoakparkwomen.com.
WE LOVE OUR VOLUNTEERS!
We are grateful for our volunteers: we could not continue the TEDxOakPark movement without YOU.
