Volunteers were responsible for most of AtMP's first decade of accomplisments!  Add your name to the illustrious list of writers, researchers, envelope stuffers and others who are moving society closer to fairness for all unmarried people.  There are many ways to get involved:

 

Student Interns

Some of AtMP's most exciting achievments were initiated and/or completed by interns.  Click here to apply for a summer or semester internship.

 

Office Volunteers

Brooklyn, NY area

Updating our membership list, preparing small mailings, photocopying etc. ... This is a good spot for someone who is available a couple hours a week, and who is familiar with basic office equipment and computer programs.  Previous office volunteers have become reseach interns, project organizers, web designers and even board members!

 

Mailing Volunteers

Brooklyn, NY area

AtMP sends out large mailings a few times each year, and we always need extra hands to help us sticker, stuff, and seal.  Loners: you can pick up a bag of supplies, put them together at home, and drop them off when complete.  Socialites: you can join us for a mailing party.

 

 

Newsletter/Website Writers

This job can be done by email from any location.

Want to contribute short articles for this website and/or our newsletter? We can provide story ideas, and we also welcome your submissions and ideas. If you're interested in contributing your skills and opinions, contact us.  

 

Letter to the Editor Brigade

This job can be done by email from any location.

Articles about marriage, cohabitation, and alternatives to marriage appear in newspapers and magazines around the country every day. Letters to the editor are a great way to point out misleading or incorrect information, tell the truth about unmarried relationships and families, and let other interested readers know about the Alternatives to Marriage Project. Our Letter to the Editor Brigade is composed of volunteers around the country who are willing to write an occasional letter to the editor. Collectively, Brigade members make a significant impact on the voices that are heard in the American debate about families. As a Brigade member, we'll forward you articles we see that we think deserve comment (either praise or criticism), and you can also find your own articles in the publications you read. We can also send tips forwriting letters to the editor, and provide feedback or editing on letters if you like. Your time commitment could be as much or as little as you like.

 

"My Story" Volunteers

This job can be done from any location.

AtMP maintains a database of unmarried people who are willing to talk about their lives with journalists who are working on articles or news pieces about marriage, cohabitation, and related topics. We think these real life stories are an important part of educating the public about unmarried relationships. We need a diversity of people willing to share their experiences: people who are single and in relationships; those who hope to marry someday and those who never will; people of all ages, races, sexual orientations, and geographical locations. If you would be willing to consider talking to the media about your experience (you can always decide on a case-by-case basis), please email us with your city and state (very important), phone number, and basic information about your situation that we can share with an interested reporter.

 

Professional Services

We are also in search of professionals willing to provide occasional pro bono services, including:

  • Marketing experts
  • Printers
  • Accountants
  • Grantwriters/researchers
