Like blogging about sexual and reproductive health and rights for young people? Even better, want to get paid for it?

Amplify has a couple of spots open for front page bloggers aged 16-24. Each of our front page writers will have a weekly blog on the front page of www.amplifyyourvoice.org – you may be assigned to cover one of our issues, or we may just want your unique perspective on sex in our society. And you’ll get paid for it! (monthly stipend of $100)

You must have your own, regular Internet access to be a front page blogger. The responsibilities for this position will include:

• 1 weekly blog on your topic or focus area
• 2 additional posts a month, which can either be on your topic or whatever else you choose, within the constraints of the site’s mission and Advocates For Youth’s 3R’s Vision
• Commenting on at least 5 other Amplify blog entries per week and contributing feedback on Amplify as we develop it as a blog and activism tool.

• A brief description of what you’d write about. What issues will you tackle, or what is your point of view? What will be the tone? What do you hope to accomplish with your blog? We are especially interested in recruiting bloggers on the topics of reproductive justice, international issues, and HIV.
• Two sample entries - examples of what you would write in your blog if we hire you.
• A previously published article, such as a newspaper column or posting to another blog or your own blog; OR, a third sample entry.
• Your contact info.
