There are many ways to Volunteer in the Reconciling Movement!

In the Reconciling Ministries Network National Office, Chicago, Illinois

Volunteers help with mailings, data entry, creating and maintaining the movement archive, and support the RMN office staff in a myriad of other ways.  To register your interest, please email Audrey Krumbach, National Organizer.

At Reconciling Ministries Network Convocation (held every other year)

Convocation volunteers make almost every element of the event possible, including: the conference office, bookstore, stage hands, musicians, registration, and much more! To volunteers for Convocation 2011, please email Mark Bowman, logistic coordinator.

In Your Home Town There are two ways to Volunteer for RMN without leaving town!

• Blog writers, fund development assistants, Reconciling process coaches and others work from their area to help educate, encourage and empower Reconciling people across the world.  To inquire about writing for the blog, email RMN Communications.

• Reconciling United Methodists work every day to create safe places for all persons of all sexual orientations and gender identities in their local churches, homes, schools and communities. If you would like to tell us about your project, send a report to RMN’s Outreach department.

In Your Annual Conference

Reconciling Annual Conference Teams (ACTs) are active in most U.S. annual conferences. You can help plan education and social events in your area, host a display table at the Annual Conference Meeting or get involved in other ways.  To learn about the Annual Conference contact in your area, click here.

In The United Methodist Connection

Every four years at General and Jurisdictional Conferences, Reconciling United Methodists feed lunch to hungry delegates, hold open doors, hold signs, chalk sidewalks, provide legislative monitoring, and pray together. Volunteers help prepare food, make signs, blog, and do a myriad of other activities!

Watch the RMN website in late 2011 for information about General Conference 2012, Tampa, FL.

Interns & Service Learning Opportunities

Are you interested in learning more about how to speak out, act out, write out, or believe out loud for full inclusion? Reconciling Outreach staff are able to take on a small number of interns and students each year to help them understand national organizing, communication in a national movement, United Methodist Church leadership and other fields. Community organizers, pastoral/seminary interns, graphic artists, communications/social marketing interns are especially encouraged to apply.
