Seeking: Volunteer Regional Storytelling Coordinators
Sandy StoryLine (www.sandystoryline.com) is looking for volunteer regional storytelling coordinators. Coordinators collaborate with local organizers to identify people in affected areas who would like to share their stories, experience and visions for the future.
The goal is to work in closer relationship to the organizing to fill the huge gaps in the mainstream media’s reporting so we can continue to amplify what’s happening in affected neighborhoods.
The regional storytelling coordinators would have to be available a few days a week. Join us in exposing and voicing these important stories.
This is a super flexible and fun volunteer opportunity.
This opp is great for any folks who are self-starters love meeting new people.Telling the untold stories of this diaster is critical to how we support communities advocating for equitable rebuilding. Bring a notebook and pen, warm and comfortable clothes and your people skills.

Looking for a Front-end Developer for Hurricane Sandy Storytelling Project twww.sandystoryline.com
Sandy Storyline is building a narrative of the storm and its aftermath, told through the experiences of community members and volunteers.
It includes three channels of participation to ensure that a multiplicity of voices and perspectives are represented in the documentary.
- Anyone can record their story by simply calling a toll-free number, sending a text or picture message, or submitting a story on sandystoryline.com.
- A growing group of media contributors are gathering people’s stories using audio interviews, photography and video.
- Sandy StoryLine conducts participatory workshops for community and youth groups to help build the knowledge and tools to create media for community power, cultural expression, and leadership development.
A main distribution outlet for Sandy Storyline is our web platform, sandystoryline.com.
We’re in immediate need of a front-end developer to join Sandy Storyline. We put up a very rapid first build, just to get the growing collection of stories up, but want to make a truly interactive place on the web for sharing stories about Sandy. We hope to bring dignity to the people who have been affected, and create a storytelling platform that can be used for long term advocacy efforts around rebuilding. Bring your ideas!
The developer should feel comfortable handing different media types, and working in CSS, JavaScript, and HTML 5. Features may include creative applications of playlists, story sorting, and viewing.
We are volunteer-powered at the moment but this is a creative, collaborative project with lots of potential. We are looking for developers who can help with the beta phase as well as for the long term vision of creating a space for telling the stories of Hurricane Sandy.
If interested, please contact web@sandystoryline.com.
