Calling All KIN
MADE IN KIN is currently a one-woman operation, but as our community continues to grow, so does the work involved in telling our stories, bringing people together and creating more opportunities for our creatives.
Whether you have a particular skill to share, a few spare hours, a brilliant idea or simply want to get involved, there are plenty of ways to help shape what comes next.
*These are unpaid volunteer opportunities with flexible commitments.
