VOLUNTEERS Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Foresight Design Initiative! Here is some introductory information on volunteering with us: EVENT VOLUNTEERING We generally host one Chicago Green Drinks event per month at the Jefferson Tap & Grille from 5:30–8:30pm, as well as several other Chicago Sustainable Business Alliance related gatherings. We usually need 2–4 volunteers at each event to help insure smooth operation by assisting with one or more of the following: Setting up before the event Greeting guests at the registration table Explaining to 1st time attendees what to expect for the evening Facilitating discussion among the 1st time attendees Packing up after the event Other tasks as they arise The duties are not very demanding, and instructions and advice will certainly be provided when you arrive. We will make a point to save you a seat so that you can enjoy the panel discussion. Also, you get free admission to the event and our sincere gratitude! Each month, all potential volunteers will receive an email presenting the dates and topics of the events for the upcoming month. You then reply with your availability for these events. Volunteers are chosen on a first-come first-served basis, with a couple backups. A day or two before the event, volunteers receive an email reminder. Volunteering is a great way to meet people and make new friends, as well as to participate in sustainability initiatives in Chicago.
