Tour Training

In order to form a more perfect Free Geek we begin a Tour Guide Training program. This will ensure that individuals get up to date information and improved knowledge of how Free Geek works.

A list of items to be included in the Tour Training (in no particular order):

  • Explanation of the 2 main programs and what volunteers do in each program includes:
 Repeating information about the programs during the tour to ensure the audience takes in the info
 How to sign up for a volunteer shift at the front desk
 How to log hours at the end of a volunteer shift
  • Safety includes:
 Location of the First Aid Kits
 What to do if you hurt yourself
 Exit Locations
  • Who to report to in each area.
  • How to tailor the tour to your audience, especially if they are a group from an organization
 For example: newspaper/media group, open source software group
  • How to keep hallways clear and make a path for any items coming through
  • Encourage Peer to Peer learning

In the works:

  • We are working towards posting placards and fact sheets to help tour guides answer questions and touch on important topics in each area.
  • Ideally, it would be great to have a button on the website for large groups to notify us before coming for the tour.
  • Possibly create an e-mail dump from the database so we can send a "Welcome" e-mail to new volunteers with more detailed information about Free Geek.
