Free Geek is comprised of and operated by 90 to 95% volunteers. These folks keep our doors open and need our assistance and attention. They enter our doors, take a tour, sign up for Build or Adoption (where they eventually receive a free computer) and then get scheduled to start their chosen program. Presently, we do not do follow-up contacts with them while they're in the building. The Meet and Greet program is designed to follow-up and make each "new" volunteer feel welcome and want to come back as "happy campers". This person shall perform the following for all new (first day on the job) volunteers:
- Introduce yourself
- about 4 or 5 minutes before the doors open go outside and find out who is here for the first time.
- introduce your self (Hello, my name is Kathie) and let them know you'll get them started today
- be positive and upbeat in welcoming them to our program/s
- show them the important places they'll need to know
- cafeteria
- explain use of refrigerator
- point to and explain the free box
- explain about the table of (free!) food
- point out where all 4 bathrooms are located
- show them the main kitchen and explain what they may use
- coffee and cups usage
- show them the first aid kit and fire extinguisher, explaining usage of both. Remind them to contact a staff member if they are injured at all, so an accident report can be filed - EVEN IF THEY THINK IT'S A MINOR INJURY.
- explanation to be added.
- cafeteria
- take them to their assigned area and personally introduce them to the staff/intern/volunteer covering that area.
- check back with them in approximately an hour and see how they are doing.
