Being a Staff Volunteer

The California Stories Fund grant has a column for Volunteer/Docents.  The grant requires matching funds and volunteers can have their hours work toward the grant as 'in-kind' matching funds.  We're working on formalizing and structuring the volunteering process. We're doing that for the participating organizations as well.

Volunteer Tasks
Volunteering can be all the work we do in and out of the meetings that's geared toward the creating and actualizing the Stories of Empathy project.  Things like;

• working on the grant in the group

• editing

• brainstorming

• outreach to get organizations involved

• creating a presentation that we take to different groups

• researching

• setting up art activities

• helping with the interview workshops

• helping with the final art exhibit

• etc, etc.  etc.

Assisting from other Locations.
If you're in a different city or state you can still get involved online. We'll figure out some way that you can contribute to the project over the internet. 

Video taping Volunteer's Empathy Stories
We will video tape the empathy stories of all the volunteers. Perhaps we could do a separate interview workshop with everyone that is a Volunteer.
