What e-mail should I use to apply?
You can apply with any e-mail address you use. Your e-mail address will be visible to some volunteers in charge of processing and reviewing your application, though. If you don’t want to connect your fannish identity with your legal name, don’t use your personal/work/school e-mail addresses. Please whitelist e-mails from *@transformativeworks.org so that you receive messages from our volunteers.
Can I volunteer for more than 1 year?
Yes! The term listed on the position description is just the minimum requirement. In fact, we have many volunteers that have been with the OTW for more than a decade!
Can I take a break from volunteer work before my term is up?
If you find that you cannot do your volunteer duties within the time requirements expected of your position, you can ask to take a hiatus from your committee chairs. If you would like to retire from volunteer work, you may also do so at any time.
Can I change my name/details after I apply?
Yes, you can change your name or details after you apply or during the course of your volunteer work. Your new name will need to follow the OTW Name Policy.
I have questions about volunteering that are not answered here.
Contact Volunteers & Recruiting via the contact form and we’ll be more than happy to answer them for you.
