Website Manager- taste of science St. Louis chapter

Volunteer Web Manager

Scientists, Inc. is a nonprofit dedicated to science outreach. Our mission is to create community-based connections between people and science that would not exist otherwise. We make these connections through events such as our national taste of science festival and event series dedicated to adults. We also record the 2

Scientists podcast sharing the stories of scientists and their experiences in research to humanize the people who do the work.

We are 100% volunteer run. A group of diverse individuals brought together through our love for science, so we dedicate our time to share research and the scientific process with our local communities.

Kids get plenty of science festivals – so we make something for adults, for them to play.

taste of science is an annual festival and event series dedicated to bringing scientists out of the lab, in from the field and away from their computers to meet with non‑specialist audiences in their favorite places. We are a national organization with community roots. Those involved are hardworking, creative and passionate people dedicated to making science more accessible to everyone.

As a volunteer you would be working to connect your local community with the exciting and valuable research being carried out at institutions in St. Louis. You would help to organize events to break down the notion that science is inaccessible and carried out in the ivory tower. We work to inform citizens who can then make better decisions, based on science, when it comes to their health, the economy and our environment.

We want to engage people where they enjoy going to hang out. This might be their favorite brewery, or a family friendly event at a park.

As a Web Manager volunteer you would be working on the St. Louis Chapter “Squarespace” host webpage by

• creating new events
• updating website with details for speakers and venues
• adding booking information
• updating the “team” section of our website to include our team's pictures and bios
• updating their city’s web page to include the latest team members

They also make individual pages for each event. This is an opportunity to develop their skills using a web CMS system, while showing some creative flair in how they choose to display event information.

Although this is a remote position, because our events require knowledge of our local community, we are looking for volunteers residing in the St. Louis area.
