Experienced Volunteers wanted for Video Documentary Project

We need your help! Appalachian Voices is preparing to launch an online video outreach project called “America’s Most Endangered Mountains”. This project will showcase 10 mountains and surrounding communities that are slated for mountaintop removal operations. Each video will answer “Why is Appalachia worth saving?” and involve viewers in the campaign by:

1. Showcasing community assets and future plans
2. Clearly describing mining threats
3. Connecting viewers who want to help directly with community members
4. Connecting viewers with online campaign activities

We’re looking for experienced volunteers to accompany our staff on filming trips to the coalfields. In all, we’ll travel 5 long weekends through July 2008. If you’re a college student looking for a great spring break trip, you’ve found it. Video and audio recording experience is a must.
