Communications Volunteer

Located in the John Deutsch University Centre (JDUC), the AMS Communications Office is responsible for overseeing the public image, brand, and messaging of the Alma Mater Society. The office manages the two-way flow of information between AMS leadership and the undergraduate student body, helping students stay informed, engaged, and represented. As a support-based department, the Communications Office works closely with every commission, service, and office within the AMS to ensure that events, campaigns, and initiatives are communicated clearly and professionally. Volunteers in this office contribute to the AMS’s mission of transparency, accessibility, and student-centered governance by helping to create content, draft messaging, and maintain a consistent tone and visual identity across all platforms. This is a great opportunity for students interested in marketing, website design, journalism, or public relations. Volunteers will be able to build real-world communication and leadership skills while directly supporting student advocacy and campus-wide programming. Our office also aims to reflect I-EDIAA values by ensuring that all messaging is inclusive, accessible, and representative of the Queen’s community. Volunteers will work closely with the Communications Director and may be assigned to support specific campaigns or portfolios depending on availability and interest.
