    VOLUNTEERING WITH THE UFP


    This Community is run by a dedicated staff of 52 volunteers ranging from CL4 to CL6 who spend their free time with the intent of enhancing your experience - we do this through a myriad of services we provide by running events in the many games we support, writing news stories covering the latest in Star Trek, creating beautiful signatures for use here on our forums and many many many more. In fact, there are over fifty positions we have in order to make sure at the end of the day, you enjoy your time with us.

    Every so often, either by our CL4’s being promoted to CL5 or people lose their available spare time to help us out, positions become vacant. Currently, there are are a number of open positions which are a fantastic and fun way to assist your community.

    Excellent community log, Cehus! In my own experience, I can only relate how rewarding it is to give to such a well respect engaging community such as this one and then having random members you've help along the way come to you and give you thanks is simply put the cherry on top of the sundae.

    If any of you are interested in any of the positions above and you haven't sat and passed the Officer Qualification Exam, I would definitely strongly encourage you doing so. The exams can be found under your MyUFP control panel and down the left side LCARS menu.
