Sober Curator Contributor Application Form
Please think of us as your sober concierges. The Sober Curator is a resource for those seeking content related to a sober lifestyle, and it is self-supporting and entirely run by volunteers. We aren’t in the business of telling anyone how to get sober. We are in the business of keeping anyone seeking an alcohol-free lifestyle entertained and informed by curating, reviewing, and contributing fun and interesting alcohol-free and recovery content.
We’ll show you how to get plugged in with the latest swag, merch, podcasts, books, movies, fashion, music, events, and more. We strive to show that sobriety and life without alcohol do not have to be boring. Getting sober is hard enough; finding good content about recovery and sober living doesn’t have to be.
Our Mission Statement:
The Sober Curator illuminates a thriving community of distinctive people in recovery or choosing to live an alcohol-free life for whatever reason. We intend to help smash the stigma surrounding addiction by curating zero-proof lifestyle content. We aim to reflect on how exciting and rewarding life in recovery from alcohol and drugs can be through our sober lens.
As a self-supporting organization runs by volunteer contributor and a small staff. We take our service positions seriously. We show up, meet our deadlines, and support each other. Fun fact: we also have lots of laughs and a shit-ton of fun. We believe in radical honesty and helping each other be our best selves.
Please note: Building a sober lifestyle multi-media destination means we are looking to cover all of the sober things. As much as we love a good alcohol-free bevie, we don’t need fifty people writing about them. As you consider what you want to contribute and bring to the sober table, please research the site to see what content we are already offering and let us know what you think should be added!
Things you should know before applying:
An annual contract will need to be signed once you are approved. While there are several perks to being a Sober Curator Contributor, monetary reimbursement is not one of them. We are self-supporting and doing this work because it is our passion to show the benefits (and FUN!) of a sober lifestyle.
All Sober Curators Contributors must create a minimum of four articles per year (one per quarter). **Exceptions are to be made and customized for volunteers doing service work that does not involve creating content. (IE is more behind the scenes, project management, etc.)
All Sober Curators Contributors must attend four of our monthly virtual collaboration meetings.
All Sober Curators Contributors must share the content created for the site across their own digital and social platforms. We also encourage Sober Curators Contributors to share each other’s content when they are moved to do so.
All Sober Curators Contributors must have a minimum of two plus years of uninterrupted sobriety time.
All potential Sober Curators Contributors will go through two virtual interviews.
