Mission Statement
Oddball Foundation is dedicated to social change on the individual, interpersonal, and international levels using art and the written word to promote mental health education, fight for social justice, and cultivate an inclusive artistic community. Oddball Foundation strives to educate and entertain our communities, empower the systematically silenced, and express the voices and ideas of artists and advocates. Our goal is to produce and promote a unique literature magazine and podcast that can provoke and inspire. We strive to host writing workshops and philanthropic events that bring the literary and advocacy communities together. Oddball Foundation was built to embrace what makes us odd and for all communities of voices to speak louder together. We celebrate the unique voice of the artist, the advocate, and those who strive to be different.
Description
We promote and produce a vastly diverse and fine literature magazine, host community events, writing workshops, and fundraisers dedicated to bringing the literary and advocacy communities together, to spread awareness and join the fight to end mental health stigma, and fight for social justice and to address environmental issues.
We have lived experience and living experience! We care about social justice issues and use our collective voices and experiences to amplify our message. We use multimedia and create community events as well as the art and literature medium to be change agents. We are an inclusive community and always taking on volunteers.
We are always in a state of learning when it comes to social justice, and environmental action, and always pushing to break the stigma regarding mental health afflictions.

I discovered the Oddball Foundation through VolunteerMatch and after sending them writing samples and doing an interview, I got the literary position! I have been really enjoying my time here: everyone is lovely, open to feedback, easy to access and contact. The team encourages you to develop your skills and allows you to grow personally and professionally. I would highly recommend you volunteer for this great organisation and become part of the team to make a change!

I love this organization! I started with Oddball Foundation as their Special Events Volunteer in August of 22. During which time I was able to work with a close-knit team to produce a series of events, newsletters, and podcasts surrounding the topic of mental health, social justice, and environmental advocacy. The team was immediately warm and welcoming. The work was doable but still challenged me to be better and pushed me safely out of my comfort zone. It is a growing non-profit and because of this, it felt like my voice and opinion mattered more so than other organizations I was apart of previously. I was offered the opportunity to stay after my internship ended and I jumped on it. This organization is great for open-minded people who love art, poetry, reading, and the pursuit of knowledge and self-growth. I'm so glad I followed through and applied!
