PER REGIONAL CORRESPONDENT NETWORK

Help document psychedelic policy and community activity where you live.

PER is building a two-person correspondent model for every U.S. state, D.C., U.S. territory, and country or territory worldwide: one Policy & Legal Correspondent and one Community & Events Correspondent.

Coverage goal: two trained correspondents per jurisdiction, with distinct responsibilities and shared standards for neutrality, verification, and public representation.

ROLE 1

Policy & Legal Correspondent

Monitor legislation, regulations, agency actions, task forces, ballot measures, hearings, official reports, public records, and other authoritative source materials for the assigned jurisdiction.

Primary focus: documents, law, regulation, policy, and official proceedings.

ROLE 2

Community & Events Correspondent

Attend appropriate psychedelic meetings, conferences, seminars, educational events, public forums, and community or social gatherings; submit event information and factual field notes; and help introduce PER to local communities.

Primary focus: community presence, events, outreach, and factual local reporting.

Jurisdiction coverage

U.S. states + D.C.

All 50 states and the District of Columbia.

U.S. territories

American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and U.S. Minor Outlying Islands.

Countries & territories worldwide

Applicants outside the United States may apply for a national, territorial, or locally appropriate jurisdiction.

Two distinct roles

PER's goal is one Policy & Legal Correspondent and one Community & Events Correspondent for each jurisdiction.

IMPORTANT BOUNDARIES

Correspondents document and represent the Registry within defined limits.

Unless specifically authorized, volunteers may not lobby or endorse legislation on behalf of PER, make political contributions in PER's name, provide legal or medical advice, claim an official PER policy position, or speak as an authorized spokesperson beyond their assigned role. Submitted materials are reviewed before publication.

SCREENING & PUBLIC-FACING ROLE

Applicants must provide professional and public-facing references.

Because approved correspondents may be publicly associated with PER, applicants must provide a LinkedIn profile, a Facebook profile, and a short introduction video link. These materials are used for volunteer screening and role suitability, not for participant research.

Provide a current LinkedIn profile so PER can review professional, academic, community, or organizational background.

Facebook

Provide a Facebook profile link that PER can review as part of identity and public-facing suitability screening.

Resume / CV

Upload a current resume or CV (PDF, DOC, or DOCX; maximum 5 MB) for review of relevant professional, academic, research, policy, or community experience.

2–3 minute introduction video

Introduce yourself, explain your interest in PER, describe your connection to the jurisdiction, and explain how you would represent a neutral research and educational project.

Interview & orientation

Application review may be followed by an interview, orientation, conflict-of-interest review, and final role assignment.

Why would you like to volunteer with PER? *

I am interested in gathering and verifying primary-source legal, policy, legislative, and government documents. I am interested in attending appropriate local meetings, conferences, seminars, hearings, or community/social events after PER approval and orientation. I understand that applying does not authorize me to lobby, endorse legislation, give legal/medical advice, or state an official PER position unless specifically authorized. I authorize PER to review the LinkedIn and Facebook profiles I provide for volunteer identity, background, conflict-of-interest, and public-facing suitability screening. I understand that my introduction video will be reviewed for communication style, understanding of PER's mission, role suitability, and readiness for a public-facing volunteer role; it is not a psychological or research assessment. I understand this volunteer application contains identifiable contact and screening information, including my resume/CV, and is administered separately from pseudonymous participant/research records. I have reviewed the Privacy Notice.
