Apply To Become A Volunteer Project Manager

[Lacy Duckwing]

I would love to become one but I know that I cannot commit to going on BYC every day due to my busy schedule. I go camping every few months and I'm starting my first job. But, maybe when I'm retired

Thank you I would so love to become a byc project manager but I have so many responsibilities already and I want to be able to commit my full self to this forum.

I go camping myself where there's no cell reception and there's been plenty of times I'm so busy that I barely can come on, yet I'm a VPM. Most people on here have lives outside of BYC, and that's understandable. You can still help where you can.

(If it's any help, before I became a VPM, I asked for a trial run because I wasn't sure I could do it. And low and behold, I was able to! In the end, I think the trial run ended up being more about proving to myself that I could do it because others seemed pretty confident that I could without the trial.)

I am retired from my career, with a side gig of a job that is like a PT job I do from home, so it's flexible but has deadlines. That's a paycheck, so that comes first. That said, I've been able to toggle that, my chickens, hubby, house, other pets, chick customers, and BYC pretty well. I know with a full-time job and all of the rest, I would struggle.

When it feels like the right time for you, you'll know it, then apply!

I've a question: Since you're a BYC Staff member, do you get paid for being one since you do stuff like moderating too?

All the staff are volunteers. We do it because we love the community!

... and BYC has always been incredibly lucky / blessed to have the most amazing and wonderful (IMO best-in-the-world) volunteer moderators!!!

I want to help even if I don’t get paid I love this place!

Thank you for the encouragement, Lacy Duckwing I am now dual-enrolling however and I am so behind in my classes tee hee so I will definitely consider it after I'm done with those classes, so like in January or February for sure
