In addition to the opportunities we’ve listed below, if you have ideas for service opportunities in your area, we’d love to hear about them. Email volunteer@defendinnocence.org.
Current Opportunities
Model for a Photoshoot

It helps if you are in the Salt Lake area, but we are often travelling and do photoshoots in other locations as well. Please email volunteer@defendinnocence.org. for more information.

Community Connections
We'd love to start a dialogue in your community, and there are lots of ways you can help. Maybe you can connect us with your mayor, city councilor, police chief, or PTA president. Or do you know of a community newsletter or Facebook page where we could spread our message? Email volunteer@defendinnocence.org. to tell us how we can best connect with your community.

Help us diversify our content by generating ideas we can implement into our daily social media strategy.
Help us diversify our content by generating ideas we can implement into our daily social media strategy.
- Spend an hour looking through our pages on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Pinterest. (Just choose one.)
- Look at the videos, pictures, written content, overall feel, and calls to action. What can we improve?
- Look at the diversity of posts: Do we post too many pictures, or do we have too many direct links to articles?
- Spend some time thinking of new things that we should be doing. What have you seen and liked that we aren't doing?
- Make a list of 3 to 5 ideas.
- Send your ideas to volunteer@defendinnocence.org.
Create a Campaign
Help us brainstorm a campaign to raise awareness for our mission. For example, one summer we handed out 10,000 boxes of sidewalk chalk and asked you, “What about childhood is #WorthDefending?” We had responses from all over the world. What creative ideas do you have to get communities everywhere involved? Email them to volunteer@defendinnocence.org.
