Join Our Team

A small journal needs people who read carefully.

Aletheia is volunteer-run. We are looking for reviewers and for content and outreach volunteers — people who would like to help young writers take philosophy seriously.

Open Roles

Philosophy Reviewers

Volunteer

Read student essays closely and write feedback that helps them revise.

Reviewers read submissions for Issue 01 without the author's name attached, assess clarity, coherence, originality, and philosophical depth, and write comments a student can actually use.

This suits university students and graduates in philosophy, or upper-year high school students with a strong record of philosophical writing. You do not need publications; you do need to enjoy the work of reading an argument carefully and saying precisely what is and is not working.

Reading and feedback · roughly 2–4 hours per month during the review window

Content and Outreach Volunteers

Volunteer

Help build the resources, and help students find the journal.

Content volunteers help develop the educational material on this site — writing guides, topic introductions, and the question bank. Outreach volunteers contact schools, teachers, and student clubs to let them know the journal exists and how to submit.

This suits people who write clearly, or who are comfortable sending a considered email to a teacher they have never met. Familiarity with philosophy helps for content work but is not required for outreach.

Writing, editing, and school outreach · flexible, project by project

Why Volunteer

You will read a lot of philosophy written by people who are just starting, which is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own reading.
You will be part of an early, small publication where the work you do visibly shapes what gets made.
You will be giving a student something most of them rarely get: a serious reading of their thinking, from someone who is not grading them.

What we cannot promise

Aletheia is an independent student initiative. We cannot guarantee academic credit, official volunteer-hour recognition, or professional accreditation, and we will not describe our volunteers as affiliated with any institution. What we can offer is real editorial work on a publication that is being built now.

Attention is the whole job
