What types of things do the volunteers do?

Progressive U has grown in two years to an organization of more than 36,000 members. There's a lot of work to be done!

Primarily, monitoring the site for plagiarized content is the responsibility accepted by most volunteers. But there's also a slew of other tasks to be handled:

  • Totaling points for the Blogging For Progress Scholarship participants
  • Handling email submissions
  • Creating Press Releases to announce winners, features, and other happenings
  • Basic web site and database maintenance
  • Beta Testing new softwares and features for use on the Progressive U site
  • Creating content for the column Between the Lines

Most of the tasks you can volunteer for depends on the team you'll be volunteering for, but there are tasks that don't fall under any one team.
