Floater Checklist

Note
While this page is categorized under Instructor Checklist, it's more a Task List. A floater should always identify him/herself to the staff person in each area so that if an area needs help, the staff person knows who they can ask.

 * tell the Front Desk to direct folks to Receiving
 * help unload donors' vehicles
 * empty any full/overflowing boxes on the shelves
 * fill empty space(s) on shelves with new box(es)
 * empty cord cart
 * test speakers, mice, or keyboards
 * empty cardboard container
 * break down unwanted boxes
 * look for new volunteers or volunteers who look lost and train them (or just help them out)
