Volunteerism

Volunteers in the The Democracy Workshop should agree with the mission of the Workshop and work to preserve and promote it. Volunteers from within the community will administer the Workshop. All are welcome to volunteer, from one hour a week, to whatever level they can sustain.

It is very important that the time given to volunteer work does not take away from other activities of importance to the volunteer’s well being.

It is also very important that the persons interested in volunteering be inclusive and respectful of others’ thoughts and believes, that they maintain their own believes to themselves and if they express them within the context of the Workshop, to identify them as their personal opinion, not that of the Workshop.

Initially Volunteer work will be limited to maintaining the safety of the Chat Forum and answering the questions of visitors to the web site. Later, it will extend into the technical service area which should be minimal.  In the future, the volunteers may think of other avenues for the membership to express itself and other volunteer programs may develop.

In order to volunteer, make sure you are a member and email the attendant using the suggestion box. A volunteer should be 18 years of age or older. Should agree to being interviewed by telephone or in person when possible and be able to supply references that may be contacted in support of their credentials.

Volunteers who are younger than 18 years will be allowed only after supplying a verifiable document showing parental consent.
