We don’t have a machine—we have people.
NextNW is built by the creative community, for the creative community. We’re fueled by volunteers who show up, pitch in, and help make it all happen—from events and content to backend ops and big ideas.
If you’re looking to grow your network, stretch a new skill, or just want to be part of something with heart, this is your moment.
Current Volunteer Needs
Marketing Committee
Help us tell our story. Write copy. Make content. Pitch ideas. Keep our newsletters, socials, and website from collecting dust.
Ideal for creatives, strategists, content pros, and marketers who hate fluff but love a good community.
Event Committee
Bring the vibe. Support our workshops, panels, and in-person hangs. From logistics to programming to setup—we need your brain and your hands.
If you love making things happen and seeing people connect, this is for you.
Administrative Support
Keep the gears turning. We need 2-3 volunteers to help with behind-the-scenes tasks—event postings, event reminders, getting vendor quotes, calendar invites, spreadsheet updates, contact follow-ups, member onboarding, and inbox triage.
For people who like organization, checklists, and being the glue that holds things together.
General Support
Just want to help? That works too.
We always need extra hands and good energy—whether it’s for day-of help at events, taking notes on a call, or brainstorming something new.
Let us know what you’re into, and we’ll plug you in.
Not sure where to start? No pressure.
Shoot us a note at ed@nextnw.org and we’ll help match you with something meaningful (and manageable).
