Writer

PRISM relies on the dedicated contributions of volunteers to further its initiatives. Part of this work is in the form of creating educational resources for LGBTQ+ youth and queer people of color. Writers take the necessary information and compose easily understood articles, social media captions, and other forms of written work. Writers do not receive a paycheck, but they do receive the satisfaction that they are helping an organization for LGBT youth. There is potential for a paid position in the future.

Writers have the following responsibilities:

• Research and gather information about proposed topics
• Convey educational topics in a well-formatted, easy-to-read manner
• Complete articles, captions, and other tasks in a timely manner
• Maintain accuracy of information provided, both through peer-editing and continuous review of published resources.

• Sexual health
• LGBT issues
• Racial topics
• Black history/culture
• LatinX history/culture
• Asian history/culture
• LGBT history
