About For Every TomorrowFor 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 BriefThe 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 RoleWe 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.

- 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
