If you currently OP a mentor/help thread or contest and would like volunteers to be involved with you, you may request to be included in the above list.

Volunteer duties will include but will not be limited to:
Assist the OP.
This assistance could be in the form of vote counting, preparing bbcode for posting by the OP, helping OP network the thread by forming an email distribution list for notifications, recruiting and making contacts on behalf of the threads and bump that thang), and give the OP some time away, a mini vacation if you will. This can effectively eliminate OP burnout.

This is where I post requests from OPs wanting volunteers for specified needs. Please check here if you are looking for something to do, then contact the OP. As these jobs are filled I will remove them.

(1) I need several volunteers to help me promote the MM Model of the Week,
the MM Photographer of the Week, and the mm MUA of the Week contests. Duties would include contacting amazing photographers and models to introduce them to these threads. • Additional duties would be to send a Tag to Voters and Contestants each week with a "Thank You" and/or "Good Luck", for their participation. A bump or two a day would also be helpful.
(2) The LIST needs volunteers to help organize an email distribution list. This email list will be used to help us connect photographers with new models on the "Please Just Shoot Me" list and to inform members on current events.
(3) We need to build a volunteer team for our newest MENTOR thread The 5th LIST-MENTOR support for newbie Makeup Artists. Please apply here in Team Mayhem or pm Peter Buckley-Saxon.
(4) NEW~We need screeners to check background references on members desiring to participate in The 4th LIST- Accommodations for models on tour. This assignment is very important and everything must be handled with discretion and confidentiality. This assignment isn't for everyone. Please contact Aubrey or myself if you feel you'd be a good screener.
