The Center for Sex Positive Culture is created by and for our membership, and we rely on volunteers to create and run the events that they would like to see. Over the 27 years that this organization has existed, we have had many periods where we struggle to staff our events and keep up with essential behind the scenes tasks. Now is one of those times. If you are a member of this community, I urge you to volunteer.
Volunteering at the CSPC provides an opportunity to contribute to the community while gaining valuable experience. Specifically, volunteering can help you build skills and connections, feel more comfortable at events, give back to the community, and shape the future of the organization. There are other perks as well—like getting into parties for free when you volunteer at them! As a member who has volunteered for 9 years and racked up over 6,000 hours of volunteer experience with the CSPC, I can attest to the many benefits as well as the potential for exhaustion that comes with being an overworked volunteer.
If you are not yet a volunteer, please visit the Volunteering page on our website to get started. If you are a volunteer, thank you! Please keep an eye out for vacant shifts in Volgistics and read the emails that come to you via the Volunteer Google Group. If you wish to try out a new role and you are not sure how to get started doing what you want to do, follow one of these paths:

We are always in need of new volunteers as well as volunteers willing to take on new responsibilities. If an event is cancelled, it is because not enough people signed up to run the event. If there is something missing at the CSPC, it is because we don’t have anyone with capacity to do the work. We are the organization we choose to be. Please answer the call.
