Greetings!
Have you ever wondered how you could help Art Jewelry Forum do what it does? Perhaps you appreciate our efforts to promote the field of contemporary jewelry and would love to support us, but don't have funds to donate. Have you thought of volunteering as a possibility?
AJF is looking for volunteers to help with:
- Research: compiling data to promote AJF to new audiences
- Social media: we can't be everywhere...
- Represent: AJF often needs help at events like SNAG and Schmuck
- Shipping: if you are physically located in the Bay Area of California--we'd love some assistance packing and mailing books and more
Intrigued? Please send AJF a quick email with your special skills, location, and interest. We'll add you to a list of volunteers and let you know when you would be of invaluable assistance. If you happen to be at SNAG, find Rebekah Frank to let her know your interest. Thanks! |
