What does a Work Day Host do?

Your job is to show up, be friendly, and work alongside people who come to working events like Trash Cleanup and Green Man Day, as well as assigning tasks to other volunteers. That means:

• Set up cleaning/work supplies before the event
• Connecting with clergy at the start for a list of work items
• Welcoming newcomers and helping them feel comfortable
• Delegating work items to volunteers
• Maintain a safe environment for all present
• Provide a report of jobs cleared at the end of the event

What we're looking for in a Host

Friendliness and a willingness to interact with people are essential. You should be capable of lifting 50 lbs. independently, and comfortable (or willing to work on it!) telling people what to do.

What to bring

You might want to bring some of your own cleaning and maintenance supplies from home. Weavers also has a full selection of cleaning and maintenance supplies to work with. Certain specialized jobs might need additional equipment and/or training.

The space

Events are generally held at Weavers of the Web's physical building on Center Street and/or our Jolly Rd. property (unless otherwise noted in the task description). Working events tend to be busy and hectic, with lots of people moving around and dodging each other. 

Attendance

Attendance varies. When an event is running consistently and fully staffed, you can expect more people to show up. If you're hosting a newly-relaunched or less-publicized date, it may be quieter. (Don't forget to share the event with your friends to boost attendance!) Please plan to stay for the full event, regardless of turnout; guests can arrive at any point during drop-in events.

Logistics

• Solo hosting unless otherwise noted, although friends/partners are welcome to join in
• Make sure to coordinate with clergy about the details for each event
• A check-in process for guests is coming soon; details will be communicated when it's in place.

Day-of issues

If you're running late, have an emergency, or need to cancel, contact Solinox directly as soon as possible.
