The human resources team is dedicated to training volunteers interested in joining the Center for Positive Sexuality. Human resources handles record keeping, document and handbook distribution, on-boarding interviews, and orientation. Orientation includes information about the framework that the Center for Positive Sexuality operates from to inform volunteers of our dedication to addressing social issues through sex positive research and education.

Most of our volunteers are in California, however, individuals from all over the world can volunteer for the organization. All interviews and trainings are done through Skype so please make sure you are familiar with using and downloading this program prior to any scheduled interviews. We are looking for volunteers that understand how to navigate technology without assistance and are committed to meeting deadlines. Meeting the requirements such as punctuality, virtually signing our handbook and returning it (digitally) before the orientation is part of the interview process.

If you have any questions about volunteering with us, please send an email to: HR@positivesexuality.org. We are looking forward to meeting you and for you to join our team!
