Ireland’s youth website, created by young people, for young people (aged 16 - 25), is looking for volunteers to help fact check and proof health related content. SpunOut.ie provides information to young people to empower them through informed decision-making. All of our content deemed to have a 'health impact' is vetted and proofed by professionals. The Editorial Advisory Board would be required from time to time on a voluntary basis to independently proof content before it is published or updated. The SpunOut.ie gets around 670,000 visitors a year who consume around 1.6 million pages of information each year, so it is an important resource for young people in Ireland and the volunteers will be guaranteed to make an impact on a significant scale. If you would be interested in helping SpunOut.ie, please contact editor@spunout.ie.
