Virtual Volunteering
Wolf-PAC’s Communications Team creates content of many varieties in our work to drive the most important mission of our generation: fighting back against the corruption and oppression caused by the big-monied special interests that have bought our elected officials. To join the team and help us with any of the volunteer positions listed below, please fill out this form.
Admin Operator
The Administrative Operations Section (“Admin Ops”) strives to create the most efficient and productive operating environment for the WP Comms Team. We propose, develop, and launch projects or improvements in various areas (i.e. project management, data tracking), all designed to improve the productivity of the various Comms sub-teams.
We’re looking for volunteers to join as Admin Operators. As an Admin Ops for Wolf-PAC, you will design or execute projects that will support the rest of the Comms Team.
Admin Operators work in 3 main categories. You should have interest in one of these core areas to join the Admin Ops team:
- Data Sweeping: These Ops carry out simple, repetitive workflows to enter or remove data from the Comms team’s project tracker.
- Example: You would read some instructions on how to transfer project requests from an external spreadsheet, into our Comms team project tracker.
- Workflow Leads: These Ops analyze the needs of the comms team, and design workflows to make things more efficient. These workflows are typically carried out by the data sweepers
- Example: You would be assigned to create a brand new process for cleaning up data in Airtable. You would write the process steps and assign tasks to data sweepers.
- Automation: These Ops analyze current processes of the Comms team, and develop lower cost alternatives to those processes, typically with the help of technology and integrations.
- Example: You would learn how a certain team completes their work, and figure out how they might get things done faster by using a new tool, or by changing something in the team’s project tracker to sync with Slack.
