Hi everyone,
As you may have already seen in our recent news post, Bulbagarden is actively looking for applicants for a range of volunteer staff positions:
General Questions:
How can I apply?
Click the links above, or in the news post, and they'll take you straight to the application forms. If applying to multiple positions, you'll need to fill out each form separately.
Why aren't you accepting any applications for the social media or multimedia (Youtube, Twitch) teams?
At this point in time, we only recruit for these sorts of roles internally. If you're interested in contributing in these areas, we'd suggest considering working with our Bulbanews or Discord teams, as these would offer the most opportunities to work with our social media and multimedia teams.
When can I expect to hear back from you?
All successful applicants should hear back from us by the middle of February.
