Have you ever thought about being a CFIC volunteer? We’ve certainly thought about having you as one. Whether you enjoy computer work, getting out and meeting people, writing and sharing your (evidence-based) thoughts, or leadership roles, we have a place for you.
Our volunteers get involved because they believe passionately that the best way to make their community, their province, their country, and the world better is by supporting CFIC and our mission to support people, organizations, and governments to make evidence-based decisions that improve lives in Canada and around the world.
With a small team of volunteers, CFIC punches above our weight in terms of impact. Adding your talent and time to this pool allows us to do even more.
If you are an independent, motivated individual who believes that critical thinking, science, and secularism are critical for a thriving society, please consider volunteering. To get started, just complete our online volunteer application or email volunteers@centreforinquiry.ca for more information.
Current volunteer roles:
Webmaster assistant: Use WordPress to share information. Check out our website here. Some training will be available for the right (committed) candidate.
Local organizers: Organize events, both informal (such as Skeptics in the Pub) and formal (such as our recent Seth Andrews talk). Meet local, like-minded people. Engage in interesting conversations.
Data Analysis: We are looking for CFIC members who are interested in helping to understand what is working well, and what is working less well with CFIC’s online presence, including social media, direct email campaigns, the website, and our advertising.
Writers: Submit regular contributions to Critical Links. We especially need people with science backgrounds who can write about environmental issues, health, and other breakthroughs.
Activists: Help CFIC change things. We are currently focused on the elimination of public funding for discriminatory religious school boards in Ontario (we would also like to be more active in Saskatchewan and Alberta with this issue) and changing the census question about religion. However, we will work with activists in any area that significantly advances science, secularism, and critical thinking.
Leadership: We look to our excellent volunteers to fill roles on our council and board. Please let us know if you are interested in getting to know us better in order to be involved in directing the future of CFIC.
