Join Our Team

Hey Mama. We are so happy that you are here to learn more about becoming a part of the Co Springs Mom Collective team. We are growing and looking to add more voices to our already established contributor team. We’d love for you to consider joining us.

Please note: This is a volunteer position that lets you explore your creative side in exchange for a little publicity and some really fun perks. Note: you do NOT have to be a blogger to apply! We are simply looking for local moms who love to write and create, have a passion for motherhood and their community, and are looking for a way to connect!

Two Ways to Contribute

We are currently looking for writers AND content creators. As a writer, you will provide one original blog post per month to go live on cospringsmom.com. As a content creator, you will provide one reel, video or image post per month for the Co Springs Mom Collective Instagram account.

Guidelines

We so appreciate that you would consider sharing your thoughts, experience, and inspiration to the Co Springs Mom Collective audience! Before you think more on the opportunity, please read the following guidelines and feel free to contact us with any questions.

  • Think LOCAL: We love hyperlocal content. What are some of your favorite spots in Colorado Springs? Where do you love to eat, hike, or take your kids on a Saturday afternoon? Blog posts can feature places to go and things to do while more general topics {feeding, potty training, DIY…} can be given a local twist simply because they are written by a local mom – YOU! As an Instagram content creator, we’d love to see you showcase our beautiful city in the posts that you create.
  • Think MOMS: It may sound obvious, but COSMC’s target audience is made up of moms, so it only makes sense that our content remains under the broad category of parenting, within which you have a ton of subtopics to choose from: the experience of being a mom, stages and phases of development, tips and tricks, home management strategies specific to moms, and of course, locally-focused content. At the end of the day though, we are all moms just trying to make our lives a little bit more enjoyable. If you have an idea that interests you and your friends, then our readers would probably love to read about it too!
  • Most Importantly: Share what you love, and love what you share!

What you GIVE…

  • One original post per month that fits within the brand and mission of COSMC
  • An active presence on social media
  • A 6 month commitment
  • Availability for at least one COSMC team gathering
  • A passion for moms, children, community and Colorado Springs
  • A reliable and positive personality!

What you GET…

  • Your photo and bio on the Co Springs Mom Collective contributor page {with links to your personal blog and/or social media handles if you choose to share them}
  • A headshot and team photoshoot with a professional photographer
  • Access to the COSMC Contributor Facebook group and other internal communications
  • Opportunities to test out products and/or services before reviewing them on COSMC
  • Information and professional development in the areas of writing, blogging, SEO, social media, and event management
  • New friendships and an AMAZING opportunity to do something great in our beautiful city!

What you should DO…

  • Complete the application form below in its entirety.
  • Submit a Writing Sample if you are applying for a writing role. Your writing sample should be between 300 – 1,000 words and created in a Google Doc with public preview on. You will copy and paste the link to your Google Doc in the application form below. Feel free to write about anything you’d like. Here are some brainstorming ideas in case you need them: What are you passionate about? What has been weighing on your heart lately? Do you have a parenting tip/trick to share? What are your favorite restaurants or shops in Colorado Springs? What did you do yesterday? Keep in mind that your writing sample is an opportunity to show us the unique perspective you will bring to this role.
  • Submit Content Samples if you are applying for a content creator role. You will provide up to 5 links in the application form below that showcase your top reels, videos or photographs.
  • Please Note: If you love writing and content creation, feel free to apply for both roles.
