Volunteer Editor - The Tomorrow Brief

About For Every Tomorrow
For Every Tomorrow is a British Columbia-based nonprofit focused on mental health and addiction advocacy, education, awareness, and community engagement.
Our work aims to reduce stigma, encourage more open and informed conversations, and contribute to a more compassionate culture around mental health and addiction.
About The Tomorrow Brief
The Tomorrow Brief is For Every Tomorrow’s mental health publication, covering developments and issues across British Columbia, Canada, and internationally.
We publish four types of articles:
News · Analysis / Explainer · Feature / Deep Dive · Opinion
Our goal is to make mental health and addiction topics accurate, accessible, responsible, and understandable to a general audience.
The Role
We are looking for Volunteer Editors to join The Tomorrow Brief’s editorial team.
Editors serve as an important final checkpoint between a writer’s submission and publication. You’ll review articles for more than grammar — you’ll consider whether the piece is accurate, appropriately sourced, clearly structured, fair in its presentation, suitable for its article type, and written responsibly.
You’ll work directly with contributors to strengthen their work while preserving their individual voice.
What You’ll Do
Review submitted articles before publication
Edit for clarity, structure, grammar, flow, and readability
Review factual claims, sources, quotations, and attribution
Check that sources genuinely support the claims being made
Identify unsupported or overly definitive statements
Ensure News reporting remains neutral and distinguishes fact from commentary
Review Analysis pieces for evidence, causation, uncertainty, and appropriate interpretation
Review Features for responsible treatment of interviews and lived experience
Review Opinion pieces while preserving the writer’s viewpoint and ensuring factual claims remain accurate
Flag potentially misleading, stigmatizing, sensationalized, or inappropriate language
Provide clear and constructive feedback to writers when revisions are required
Complete final editorial checks before articles are marked Ready to Publish
Collaborate with writers and the wider Tomorrow Brief team through Signal and Trello
Participate in brief weekly team meetings when available
