Help Wanted!

Post by OrigamiMagiro »

Hi all!

I have done some volunteering for OrigamiUSA over the past five years, and I have been proud to see the organization grow and do many things in support of the origami community during that time. Some of these things include:

* creation of an online marketplace for folders to buy/sell diagrams,

* electronic content via The Fold/digital copies of The Paper/Collection/Origamians,
http://origamiusa.org/catalog/books-dow ... blications

* and introduction of online membership.

There are many more things OrigamiUSA would like to do to support origami enthusiasts (you!). Some of the projects we want to work on include creating frequent, live, interactive online classes to connect folders across the globe (ever want to talk to your favorite origami artist?), and providing resources and support for local area folding groups in the USA and around the world. But to advance these programs, OrigamiUSA needs support from volunteers. That's where you come in!

I am currently looking for someone to take over my role as Managing Editor of The Fold, OrigamiUSA's online magazine, so that I can help with some of these new projects. The Fold has become a place for origami enthusiasts to share with the rest of the origami community; but for it to grow, I need to step aside to make room for a new manager with passionate vision and direction. This volunteer position involves scheduling, reviewing, and approving content for publication, and requires good email communication skills along with basic knowledge of HTML and vector drawing software (Adobe Illustrator/Inkscape/etc).

If this position looks appealing to you, or if you would like to help us out with any of the projects listed above, let us know! We would really appreciate your help! If you are interested in volunteering for OrigamiUSA, please email me at <jason.ku@origamiusa.org>. We would love to hear from you!

Or if you prefer to show your support financially, we would always appreciate your fully tax-deductible donation. http://origamiusa.org/donate

Thank you, and Happy Folding!
