Forced From Home: Exhibition Doctors without Borders |
| Date: Oct 6, 2016 at 11:30am to Oct 20, 2016 at 6:30pm | |
Forced From Home is an interactive, free, educational exhibition presented by Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to raise public awareness about the experience of the world’s more than 65 million refugees and internally displaced people. With an experienced aid worker as your guide, learn about the many challenges people on the move encounter and the work Doctors Without Borders does to address their basic medical needs in a host of settings.
We’re looking for enthusiastic, friendly, and reliable volunteers to help us staff the Forced From Home exhibition and associated events.
Exhibition Volunteers
Exhibition Volunteers will assist in a variety of roles on-site at the exhibition, including: crowd management, visitor registration, virtual reality tent support, and logistics support. All volunteer shifts are a minimum of five hours.
No special skillsets are required for any of the positions, however volunteers working on “Load-in” and “Load-out” days must be comfortable lifting 50 pounds, as the role will involve a lot of physical effort.
Panel Discussion Volunteers
Panel Discussion Volunteers will provide guest service and logistics support throughout these special events. Volunteer roles are:
USHER – Help direct guests to seats, hand out programs, assist with Q&A microphones, pick up programs after event
REGISTRATION/CHECK-IN – Use iPad to check-in/register guests for reception & panel discussion
GREETER/FRONT DOOR – Help direct guests to appropriate event location (reception/auditorium), answer questions
RECEPTION – Help set up tables/furniture for reception, pack down reception materials
All volunteers must be at least 18 on the day they volunteer for the exhibition. There is no upper age limit to participate, however you should be comfortable being on your feet, potentially in inclement weather, while on site.
Travel Time is included. There are many opportunities to volunteer so if you sign up for another shift, please email service@auapo.net
