Join the Literary League team
Applications are open through January 31 for the following roles.
Once these are filled, additional roles will be posted on a rolling basis.
What’s it like to be on the team?
The team shapes the experience for chapter hosts, members, partners, and more. We’re a volunteer-led team inspired by reading and connecting with fellow readers. Each member of the team plays a significant role in supporting the community. We operate, largely, asynchronously, and entirely remotely.
What are the requirements for team members?
Team members, typically, can expect to spend 3-4 hours per week in their role. They’re welcome to set their own schedule, we do not set any required hours. The Literary League team meets once per month via video call and the hope is that all team members are able to attend, though we understand things come up! Life happens! We’re entirely flexible and here to support each team member in their role.
Which roles are open?
So glad you asked. We’ve got a handful of roles open as we return in full force with a refresh.
