Use our contact form to let us know you're interested. Select "Volunteer Work" on the category menu to make sure your message gets to the right people.
General Volunteer Work:
It takes an army of volunteers to get many jobs done. So we welcome help from anyone on the following tasks.
- Distribute brochures and fliers to gun shops and ranges.
- Work at our booth at gun shows.
- Hand out our CCW Wallet Cards. Click here if you're a CCW instructor.
- Do door-to-door literature drops for candidates we support at election time.
- Help assemble mailings to raise funds or distribute voter guides.
- Attend legislative hearings and special events.
Leadership Positions:
Fundraiser / Development Director -- We need someone who can find donors for our organization and develop and coordinate fundraising events. Nonprofit fundraising experience is helpful, but not necessary. We already have a variety of fundraising resources, but we would expect you to take over and improve these efforts, brainstorm new sources of funding, and work with volunteers and leaders to make your ideas work. The ideal candidate will have the ability to meet with a wide variety of people and have the ability to "close the sale" to secure donations.
Volunteer Coordinator -- This position requires a "people person." You will be asked to recruit, develop, motivate, and organize volunteers throughout the state of Ohio. This will require a little travel, but not much. During political campaigns, we try to provide volunteers to pro-gun candidates to help hand out literature, and you will help coordinate this effort. It is also important to keep volunteers active and we would like you to arrange regional meetings and develop activities and routine tasks for volunteers to make our organization more efficient. You must be independent, energetic, and a self-starter. Experience with volunteers or non-profit organizations is a big plus, but not required.
Website Designer / SEO Specialist -- We are taking steps to improve our website and boost our traffic and search ranking. This is a hands-on and highly specialized position and requires knowledge of SEO, online marketing, site design, and other relevant skills. Experience with CMS, especially Drupal, is a major plus. This is a part-time position that requires your time on an as-needed basis to work with our web master and marketing department to carry out specific tasks. It also requires the ability to independently find and solve problems and provide consultation to our leaders.
