Winter Intention 2024 - volunteer role details

First Aid Pod: Under our certified medic be available for first aid. If all goes well you'll just be on call with a radio ready to respond if needed. We're looking for anyone who has recent-ish first aid certification of any sort. If anything serious goes down, we're calling 911.

Onsite Transport Pod: Help unload and reload the truck onsite. Everything must go! Heavy lifting required. For folks with strong backs and good truck packing skills.  (In-town truck loading volunteers are also much appreciated - there is a separate category for these folks on the registration form).

Peer Support Pod: Hang out in our cozy peer support area and offer emotional support to anyone who needs it. That might look like a friendly chat, offering some consensual nurturing touch, or just quietly being with someone. We'll pair you up with someone, or sign up with a friend. A great gig for folks who naturally tend towards the counselling and healing arts. 

Family Pod: the parents who attend the event with their kids would love a bit of help, either by entertaining the kids during the day, or by sitting near their rooms at night so that if one of the younger kids wakes up, they can get help connecting with their parent.  No 'child-minding' responsibilities (like feeding or bedtime) are involved.

Vibe Watch Pod: Keep Intention a safe and positive space by roaming about with an extra conscious edge. That means checking in with folks who look like they might need some help, and watching out for anyone being unsafe, non-consensual, or disruptive. Training will be provided. You'll be paired up. Extra support will be available via a radio. Great for folks who like to walk around and be friendly.

Decor Pod: Make Intention beautiful and cozy! We have multiple spaces to decorate and a stage area to set up. It also helps to have the same folks focus on the decor at tear-down (which is everyone's job!).  Have a piece or a structure or WHATEVER you'd like to contribute to the weekend? Contact Candice at decor[at]intentiongathering[dot]org. 

Gate Pod: Greet people, check tickets, direct folks to their assigned cabins, remind people of their volunteer shifts, answer questions, and provide everyone with a schedule. This includes people coming for the whole event or just the party night. Great for extroverts with good communication and information skills. 

LNT Pod: Short shifts tidying up the party space in the morning, and then herding people and their lost-and-found things out of rooms and communal spaces at the end of the event.
