Genderblast Conference
From: Aidan Kotler
Executive Director, Youth Gender Project
::Please forward Widely!::
Youth Gender Project is looking for volunteers to help make Genderblast Conference happen!
We need YOU! Were looking for volunteers of all ages, genders and abilities.
Help support the trans, gender-variant and questioning youth community!
Volunteers make the conference happen!
(Conference details below.)
What youll get:
*Free admission to Genderblast Conference (Non-volunteers: free for youth; sliding scale for adults)
*A CrimethInc Gender Subversion Kit poster
*An invite to the fabulous Genderblast Volunteer Appreciation Party
*Our undying gratitude and appreciation!
We need volunteers for:
*Set Up: Help set up in the morning before the conference. This will include putting up signs, making sure everything is in place, etc.
*Movers: People with a car/truck who can help transport food, supplies, etc., from our office and other places to the conference site.
*Helpers: go along with movers and help with lifting and carrying.
*Registration: Greet, register and check in conference attendees.
*Info Table: Command station for the conference: Answer questions, greet and check in latecomers.
*Presenter/Performer Check-In: Meet the stars! Greet, register and check in performers, presenters and speakers
*Runners: Run small errands around the site as needed. (Running not required!)
*Lunch set up / clean up: Help set up and clean up lunch.
*Classroom Cleaners: Clean up classrooms after the conference.
*Clean Up Dance Party: Steering Committee member Jacob Richards is hosting a Cleanup Dance Party. If you choose not to attend the Day of Remembrance, stay and listen to dance music while you help clean up! *Security: Work in pairs - one pair is stationed in the registration area/auditorium; the other pair is roaming, looking in on workshops to ensure that everything is running smoothly. For the most part, security people are just there as insurance, being visible and maybe looking a bit looking intimidating. (Wearing leather wouldnt hurt!;-) Other tasks might include: interrupting vandalism of school property, interrupting theft of school/organizers/participants property, interrupting behavior that disrupts workshops, speakers or performances, de-escalating potentially disruptive or physical disputes among attendees, or breaking up any disputes that become physical. We don't expect a lot of this stuff to come up, but security people should be able to deal with those issues if they arise.
