Volunteer with JEM
Whether you have two hours a month or two days per week, volunteering with JEM can contribute to economic change and maybe increase your own understanding of a jubilee economy. Currently, volunteers multiply by 15 every dollar donated to JEM. Here are ten volunteer tasks you might consider helping out with. The 10th one may be most exciting.
- Organize a house party for JEM.
- Host or facilitate a showing of a documentary film on an economic theme, e.g., Food, Inc., Flow, and scores of others to choose from.
- Write a grant proposal for JEM.
- Assist with mailings.
- Co-lead a workshop.
- Organize house concerts with appropriate artists as a joint benefit to JEM and the artists.
- Create blog entries for the website or help with our social media presence.
- Generate a couple of venues with organizations or congregations for presentations on a jubilee economy.
- Promote Fair Trade as concept and product.
- Something you love doing that you believe could be done as part of JEM to advance a jubilee economy.
