Opportunity Description
✍️ VOLUNTEER POETS & STORYTELLERS
Health Together (HT) | Vancouver, BC & Fully Virtual | Global Welcome
Health Together (HT) is a Vancouver-based planetary health organization, rooted in the unceded lands of the Coast Salish Nations and working entirely virtually — which means we warmly welcome collaborators from any corner of the world.
We are a team of highly qualified health professionals who believe that healing the planet and healing ourselves are the same project. We are also, we are told, genuinely fun to work with.
🌍 THE PROJECT
We are seeking volunteer poets and storytellers to help us find the human voice at the heart of two extraordinary international initiatives:
• An upcoming interview series in Japan, exploring planetary health through the perspectives of Japanese researchers, healers, and community voices — work that deserves language as considered and beautiful as the ideas themselves
• Later in the year, a deeply moving project in South Africa, drawing on the Zulu practice of Family Constellation — a tradition of collective healing, ancestral connection, and community wholeness that invites both witness and words
We are looking for people who can help us craft narratives, reflections, spoken word pieces, or poetic responses that bring these stories to life — for social media, for video, for the communities we serve, and for the world.
🤝 WHAT WE OFFER
• A collaborative, warm team — with support for research, coordination and context so you are never working alone
• Full creative latitude to respond to the material in your own authentic voice
• A fully remote, flexible working arrangement
• A project worthy of your best work — this content will reach health professionals, researchers, advocates and curious minds worldwide
• Genuine, heartfelt appreciation for the gift of your time and creative spirit. We do not take lightly what it means for a skilled artist to choose to work with us.
🖊️ WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• Poets, spoken word artists, narrative storytellers, or creative writers of any background
• Curiosity about planetary health, cross-cultural healing, or the intersection of science and story
• Comfort with international themes and openness to the unfamiliar
• Emerging voices and experienced voices alike are equally welcome — what matters most is that you care about the work
📩 TO APPLY OR LEARN MORE
We would love to hear from you. Please reach out at [contact email] with a brief note about yourself and what draws you to this project. A sample of your writing is welcome but not required — tell us who you are and what excites you about this work.
Healthy Together gratefully acknowledges that our Vancouver home sits on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
