VOLUNTEER INFORMATION
Split This Rock is fueled by activist volunteers—poets and others who know the power of poetry in a dangerous time. Our volunteers are working hard to spread the word, raise funds, communicating with the press and sponsor organizations, developing program materials, and so much more.
Check this page after the festival for information on how you can contribute your time and energy as we continue to build a network of
socially conscious poets. Even if you don’t live in the D.C. area, you can help out.
If you have questions about volunteering, please send an email to our Volunteer Coordinator, Jaime Jarvis, at jamilaxon@hotmail.com.
