If you are attending the 2010, National Conference on Volunteering and Service in NYC AmeriCorps Alums could use your help. If you are interested in the opportunity noted below, please contact Greg Heinrich at gheinrich@americorpsalums.org.
AmeriCorps Alums and AmeriCorps VISTA will be covering the National Conference on Volunteering and Service (Monday, June 28 - Wednesday, June 30) from an AmeriCorps perspective. Four volunteer reporters per day will be capturing interviews of conference attendees with Flip Video cameras and uploading content to the CNCS and AmeriCorps Alums YouTube channels.
Volunteers Needed: 2 per shift x 2 shifts x 2.5 days = 10 total
Morning Shift: 9:30-12pm
Afternoon Shift: 1:00-4pm (no afternoon shift on Wednesday, June 30)
The reporters will be split into two shifts (morning & afternoon) with two reporters per shift. In each shift, there will be one reporter interviewing attendees specifically about the 45th anniversary of VISTA and the other will ask questions related to AmeriCorps Alums.
Please contact Greg Heinrich at gheinrich@americorpsalums.org.
