Group volunteering
Group volunteering refers to groups from different schools, organizations, or vocational programs that come to Free Geek to learn life and job skills, or just volunteer. They come usually once per week, and are have councilors with them that have been trained on different jobs in the recycling area. Some groups have their students check in and later log their hours on their own, other groups might hand a list of students and the hours worked to a front desk person to be entered.
- Ask these questions:
Info to include:
- Day of Week:
- name of group
- Time: -start to end-
- How many people all together: -no more than 6 students and 2 councilors, or 8 people together-
- what can they do? -age and skill level is important to prepare enough reasonable and fun work for them-
- contact info: no complete emails, please
- decide on a day and time when the group leader can come in and spend a couple of hours learning the job, as well as where First Aid Kits, bathrooms and the Lounge area are.
During summer break groups usually change. We will keep track of them here: Summer Break Groups
If you have questions, feel free to ask Liane, she is their contact person here at Free Geek.
