College Students Interested in Communication and Digital Media: Become an NAACP Fellow

From July 8, 2015 – July 15, 2015, the 106th Annual NAACP National Convention will be in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the Philadelphia Convention Center. The theme of this year’s conference is Pursuing Liberty in the Face of Injustice. We are calling for student volunteers, who have a passion for social justice and civil rights, to assist the NAACP National Communications and Digital Media teams throughout the duration of the conference.

Our team seeks responsible, reliable volunteers, with a professional demeanor who can be counted on to assist with a variety of tasks and fulfill on their commitment. Volunteers are needed to support the NAACP communications department in providing administrative support and writing support and the digital media department for blogging and photography.

All students who have the interest and time to commit are welcome to volunteer for administrative tasks. Students with the interest and time along with experience in writing, blogging and photography will be given preference for press writing and digital media volunteer opportunities.

All students who are interested must sign up online here, and indicate the days they are available (we ask volunteers to commit to a full day -- 7.5 hours) along with attaching their resume. 

Students are encouraged to sign-up for as many days/shifts as they can. All shifts will be assigned with breaks in mind. Volunteer assignments will be made on a first come, first served basis and every attempt will be made to assign volunteers to a task that they have expressed interest in.

All volunteers:
• Will receive a conference bag (in appreciation of your time)
• College credit
• Access to the NAACP President and CEO speech; NAACP Chairman of the NAACP Board speech and access to the Job Fair and Commerce and Industry Show.
