It’s hard STIRRING on your own – join the World Vision STIR team.
The world today is so complex – how can we make sense of it all and change it for the better? Do you really want to STIR through your writing? Then maybe you should sign-up as a STIR Sub-Editor, or as we affectionately call them “STIR Subbys”.
To be a STIR Subby, you don’t have to be an expert on poverty – we just want people who are passionate about making a real difference in the world and able to string a sentence together.
As a STIR Subby, you will:
- Work on a freelance basis (ie, away from our World Vision offices)
- Encourage other young Australians to take action to fight poverty
- Write articles, interviews, reviews of websites, music, movies and books related to global issues and present them in a way that young Australians will understand for the STIR.org.au website
- Attend and report on events related to fighting poverty
- Hit the streets to ask people in your area what they think about the world
- Take real action of your own to fight poverty (It’ll make for a great story!)
- Be exposed to the world of International Aid & Development and to give you an opportunity to contribute to fighting poverty
- Contribute ideas & content from your local area
- Promote STIR in your local community
So, do you fit the bill?
These roles are available to anyone aged between 16 and 25 and living in Australia.
Are you able to:
- Commit 2-3 hours per week for at least 6 months to work on your writing for the site
- Attend and report on events related to fighting or learning more about poverty
- Join in on monthly teleconferences with the STIR Editor
(not at your expense)
- Participate in World Vision’s Volunteer Induction program, either in person or over the phone
