There are three roles our volunteers can help with. Please read the roles and descriptions below
Class Assistant: This role assists the presenter during the class by monitoring the chat feature and assists with time reminders. Class Assistants also introduce the presenter following a set script. Additionally, before the class, this person helps get people excited for the session by posting in Discord channels, and let's folks know that the Session Channel is open. After the class, the Class Assistant helps guide the participants back to discord for any further discussion and monitors the discord space for that class for at least 15 minutes after the class.
Consent and Emotional Care (CEC) Team: This position requires volunteers to use discord to assist any participant, volunteer, or staff with concerns related to consent and/or emotional care during the time of the event. Volunteers should be trained in or have experience with conflict management, active listening, and/or other related techniques. Volunteers will be required to document any issues that come up with the CEC Team Lead.
Zoom-Room Monitor: This position is responsible for being in the Zoom-Room with the tech/ops team member about 10-15 minute prior to the class start. Monitors will be made host and will be in charge of navigating the technical side Zoom hosting. Zoom-Room Monitors will be responsible for many tech-tasks including assisting in screensharing and break-out rooms for presenters (where needed), assigning co-host privileges, making sure captions are turned on, and helping navigate opening and closing the room to attendees before and after the class. This position requires you to be available 15 minutes prior to the start of the session and 15 minutes after the conclusion of the session. Zoom-Room monitors are not required to be on-camera, and may be asked to take a short training in the week leading up to KBtL-III. This role can be combined with the Class Assistant role if desired.
Gather Greeter: (for KBtL V and future)
Social Host: Do you want to host an hour or so of social time, do you have an idea or is there a special interest group or identity group you belong to and would like to connect with other folks like you? Social hosts are considered volunteers and should be welcoming (though extroversion is not a requirement) and able to connect with people. Socials are not classes, so you don't need teaching experience. Are you a welcoming and sociable person and want to host a social, but have no idea what? Let us know and we'll see if there are socials that you can host that are KBtL Sponsored.
