Collaboration, Accessibility, Community, and Equity

[wodine]

The much-anticipated application for the inaugural volunteers of the Collaboration, Accessibility, Community, and Equity (CACE) taskforce is now live.

The purpose of the CACE taskforce is to help shape the policy and procedures for the site while creating a more harmonious and attentive community. We want our community members to feel welcomed and supported and have the tools necessary so that they can continue to succeed at what we do best here, telling great stories.

This initial task is to recruit 5-7 members to create a "Best Practices and Resources for Inclusive Gaming," thread and aid in laying the groundwork for future endeavors, including shaping the charter of the taskforce. This group is expected to complete and publish the thread by no later than March 31, 2024. Current expectations include reporting into the group once a week and volunteering at least 5 hours per month to research and discussion. This group will be chaired by wodine.

Who we’re looking for:

This role doesn’t require any specific training or abilities, but the role does require passion and commitment. We’re looking for individuals who are sensitive to the diverse needs of the gaming community and who are willing to put in the labor to make the site a better place for our players.

We're looking for volunteers who…

• Have a passion for supporting people
• Are able to have conversations and dialogues in a mature fashion
• Are willing to commit to the project for the duration of the activity
• Can make the minimum time requirements outlined above
• Meet our technology requirements and are comfortable using a variety of technology platforms (mostly web based browsing and consistent internet access)
• Are open to new experiences and receiving feedback
• Are organized and dedicated to researching and implementing inclusive gaming

The applications are being collected via google forms, and only have a few questions, and should be able to be completed within a reasonable timeframe. It can be found by following this link.

Applications will remain open until September 30, 2023.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering and game on.
