Volunteer Orientation Dates Set
Eugene 08 Volunteer Coordinator Kris Redmond has been a very busy woman over the last few weeks. Along with a number of the volunteer committee members, she has been working on finalizing the curriculum for the volunteer orientations which will be held during the month of May. Every volunteer will need to attend one orientation session. “The sessions have been varied between days and evenings, weekends and weekdays to accommodate the variety of schedules of the volunteers” says Redmond. “Volunteers can go on-line and register for the session that is most convenient for them.”
The schedule is:
Saturday May 3, 9:00 am – noon, UO campus
Monday May 5, 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm. LCC campus
Wednesday May 7, 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm, LCC campus
Thursday May 8, 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm, UO campus
Saturday May 10, 9:00 am – noon, UO campus
Monday May 12, 2:30 pm – 5:30 pm, UO campus
Thursday May 15, 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm, UO campus
Saturday May 17, 9:00 am – noon, UO campus
Tuesday May 20, 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm, UO campus
Wednesday May 21, 2:30 pm - 5:30 pm, UO campus
Wednesday June 25, 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm UO campus – For out-of-area volunteers.
Volunteers will be given specific locations and directions for the orientation session by email.
The next step in the volunteer process will be to select the shifts they will be working during Eugene 08. That process – which will be done entirely on-line – should begin within a week. Volunteers are being notified by email regarding the process for shift selection.
“We have been absolutely amazed at the community response” says Redmond. “At this point, we are only accepting new volunteer applications for specific volunteer positions. We believe that we will have all our general volunteer positions filled by the people who have already registered.” For more information, go to the volunteer tab of the Eugene 08 website.
