Volunteer Recycling Captains Needed, Aug 23-29

Tweet

For any resident who might be interested in volunteering during the DNC, check out this request from the Colorado Association for Recycling:

The Colorado Association for Recycling, in its role as Director of Resource Recovery for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) Host
Committee, is looking for a few good volunteers!

WHEN
We don’t have specific information at this time but we can tell you that volunteers will be needed between Aug 23 and Aug 29 anytime from 8 a.m.
until 10 p.m.  Shifts that late will be rare, typically 7 p.m. would be the latest.

VOLUNTEER POSITIONS
We are looking for folks who are able to oversee other volunteers in the resource recovery effort. The DNC has volunteers who will be trained to
man ‘waste stations’ at various locations and runners, who will circulate from station to station ensuring that they are manned, that there are no
problems, and that the recycling and trash make it to the appropriate
central collection location.

The positions we need filled are the team captain positions that will
oversee these other volunteers and be in contact with the volunteer
coordinator as needed. It would entail working one 6 - 8 hour shift,
typically out-of-doors, at one of the many interesting events taking place
during the convention. You would ensure that volunteers get checked in and
out, have what they need to perform their duties and generally supervise
that shift.

TRAINING
There will be an overall training available on Monday, August 18 at 6:00pm
(yes, tonight!) and Saturday, August 23 at 9:00am at Sturm Hall on the
University of Denver campus. We’ll be in the Davis Auditorium on the 2nd
floor.

Sturm Hall is located at 2000 E. Asbury Ave. If you take the lightrail,
it’s directly south of the DU stop, just past the Richie Center.
