Wanted: Volunteer News Curator

WHAT DOES A NEWS CURATOR DO?
As a volunteer news curator, you’ll be expected to scan the news headlines of your chosen topic area every day, and post the headlines on a Twitter feed set up just for your topic.

WHAT KIND OF TRAINING IS REQUIRED?
You’ll be trained on how to do that. A short online course is in development.

HOW MUCH OF MY TIME IS REQUIRED?
It will take anywhere from zero minutes per day (if there are no new headlines on a given day, unlikely) to an hour or more per day, depending on your topic.

IS THE VOLUNTEERING DONE OFFLINE OR ONLINE?
All online for News Curator.

HOW IS MY VOLUNTEER TIME TRACKED AND/OR REWARDED?
Once you are approved for topic curation, you’ll be officially announced as the topic curator and be rewarded 500 points. You get an additional 100 points for every month of volunteering completed. Over time, as your topic gains support (aka followers) through your efforts, you’ll be rewarded with an award on your Appii profile (Appii profile setup is required and cost is sponsored by The Climate Economy Education Inc).
