Poetry Center San José could not exist without volunteers. Although we collaborate with many organizations, including History San José, the Center for Literary Arts at San José State University and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Library, our volunteers are the lifeblood of the organization. There are many ways in which you can help.
We are seeking talented individuals to serve on the Program Committee. You will be an essential part of PCSJ's programming by assisting with the Blue Monkey Reading Series or readings at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Library and other events. Share your communication and organizational talents with PCSJ and join energetic team members to bring diverse poetic voices to the San José area.
We are also seeking individuals to serve on the Marketing Committee, volunteering 1-2 hours per month. You can help us to draft press releases, public service announcements, copy-edit or maintain e-mail correspondence. You can also help us by distributing fliers/posters in your neighborhood or simply sealing envelopes.
PCSJ is also seeking volunteers to help at Markham House. Docents keep the house open on Tuesdays from 12-3 p.m. This also allows the them time to write and to reference the library and or catalog Markham’s own book collection.
If you are interested in volunteering, please email us at volunteer@pcsj.org.
