If You Are Interested in Communications, We need Volunteers.

Freehold Borough's Community Information Committee has been recognized for its many fine accomplishments during its brief three year history including: a resident resource packet that orients new residents to life in Freehold Borough (available at Borough Hall); "The Lantern," a quarterly newsletter about the Borough (available from downtown businesses or by E-mail); a Volunteer Fair; various committee press releases, etc.  We're looking for additional volunteers to help us do even more for our town and its residents.

What's In It For You?

As a Community Communications Committee volunteer, you will work side-by-side with your fellow Borough residents on a variety of communications projects like those mentioned above. Our volunteers gain practical career experience they can often apply at work or in school.  Here's the best part - sharing your special expertise benefits our town.

Skills the Committee is Presently Seeking.

In 2011, we have several projects that require knowledge and experience in either Social Media (platforms, tools) and/or Web Design (basic HTML, Flash, SEO, etc.). 

Attention HS Students:  We are also looking for Freehold Borough HS students seeking to fill their education-mandated volunteer requirements within the field of communications.  We are currently seeking beat reporters and media production (audio/video) volunteers to help with several projects.  Anyone with an interest in Social Media and/or Web Design is also welcome to volunteer. 

What is the Time Commitment?

The commitment averages about an hour or two per month, depending on assignment to any special projects.  Our monthly Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm in Borough Hall.  Most meetings conclude within an hour.

For current HS students:  We will work with your teachers and counselors to help you fulfill your volunteer commitment

Who to Contact:

For further information, please contact Community Information Committee Chairman, Marc LeVine by phone (732-492-9726) or by E-mail at stffgpr2003@yahoo.com.
