Let’s make Blueridge a little brighter, one post at a time! 

The Blueridge Community Association has a comprehensive communications platform. We are seeking individuals who are passionate about the people and activities in their community and have excellent writing skills to help us effectively communicate with our residents. This would be a fantastic opportunity for a journalism or marketing student. Expected time commitment is 2 to 4 hours per month. The content writers will:

• Assist communications team and the Board of Directors with developing and writing content for social media, printed newsletter ( 3 times per year) email bulletin newsletter (monthly) and our website. The website is currently being updated and content needs to be re-written. This may result in increased commitment for a short period of time.
• Interview residents, partners, sponsors etc. as directed by the Communications Committee to uncover the details of a story or project and write articles based on the interview.
• Proofread content for errors and inconsistencies.
• Editing and polishing existing content to improve readability.
• Create compelling headlines and content that will capture the attention of our residents.
• Conduct community research and suggest new content ideas to address gaps in the association’s current content.

Join a dedicated group of volunteers who distribute our community newsletter 3 times a year (March, June and November) to 1500 homes in Blueridge and Seymour Heights. We have 26 routes that we require volunteers for. Most routes take approximately 45 minutes to finish. Several of our volunteers involve the whole family as a way to introduce volunteerism to their children. Joining the group does not mean committing to every newsletter delivery. You can opt in or opt out as your schedule allows.
