Currently, Geelong Cereal seeks volunteers to help with:

💻Editing and admin. We need interested people to help with reading, minor editing, formatting,and occasional feedback to emerging writers. Communications students, creative writing and editing students and anyone with writing and editing skills are encouraged to get in touch. The tasks are fun and low intensity, and your voluntary involvement in Geelong Cereal will add to your CV!

🤜🤛Community outreach. There are some exciting projects cooking at Geelong Cereal that require liasing with local organisations and businesses. We need help to compile a list of contacts, and to create effective strategies for supportive engagement.

🎈IT. We've got the basics covered, but our IT skills have limits. We like to learn how to DIY rather than handball IT problems to someone else, so this role requires someone with enough patience to frequently explain the same thing more than once 😅

🎭Arts coordinator. Geelong Cereal seeks to build a strong relationship with local arts groups and to feature stories about local art exhibitions, performances, artists, and initiatives as well as help design and implement some future collaborative projects between local visual and literary art communities. Whoever takes on this role will have a lot of scope to imagine and realise this aspect of the publication.

🎧ྀིListening Room coordinator. Our Listening Room is a place for local musicians to showcase their work. If you'd like to take this on, you'll have a great deal of scope to develop this aspect of the publication.

🎤Gig reviewers. Gig reviews are a great opportunity for experienced writers to contribute kick ass reviews and, if willing, offer occasional mentoring to emerging reviewers. Gig reviews are a fun way to encourage writers to put down words, so if you're as mad for live music as we are, and you have a good grasp of the privacy, copyright and reputational requirements of reviewing and photographing live performances, join the team!

If you are interested in helping with any of these roles, please get in touch at thegeelongcereal@gmail.com
