LOOKING FOR A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE WORDPRESS COMMUNITY?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We are in search of WordPress enthusiasts eager to lend a hand!<\/strong><\/p>\n

WordCamps would not be possible without a strong volunteer base of people like you. If you\u2019ve been thinking about attending WordCamp Mombasa and want to help out, we would love to have you join us! Volunteering at a WordCamp is a fun way to meet members of the local and national WordPress community, as well as help contribute to making the event a success.<\/p>\n

There are a variety of volunteer opportunities, each with different time commitments, experience requirements, and logistics. There are two requirements for ALL volunteers, regardless of the job or duration: Be reliable and be friendly<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Look at the list below to see if anything strikes a chord. Then if you\u2019d like to volunteer, fill out the volunteer form below to express your interest in volunteering. Our Volunteer Wrangler will get back to you and let you know which options are available and work out a schedule.<\/p>\n

DURING THE EVENT<\/h4>\n

Set Up\/Clean Up<\/strong>: Help with event set up and clean up as needed.<\/p>\n

Registration<\/strong> \u2013 Check-in registered attendees and hand out nametags & t-shirts. Sell walk-up tickets. Being really awesome with alphabetical order helps here.<\/em><\/p>\n

Room Emcee<\/strong> \u2013 Introduce speakers\/sessions and keep things running on time. Keep an eye on the clock and give speakers a heads up when they are down to 10 and 5 minutes, and let them know when their time is up. Brevity and wit a must.<\/em><\/p>\n

Photography<\/strong> \u2013 We need your unique vision and your photography skills to document the event with your camera.<\/p>\n

Room Runners<\/strong> \u2013 Work with the emcees, video people, speakers, and everyone else working in the room to keep things running smoothly. Make sure there\u2019s water for speakers, and provide support as needed for other event staff.<\/p>\n

Happiness Bar<\/strong> \u2013 Answer questions and help WordPress users fix problems with their sites. Must be able to show a level of expertise to be selected for this gig.<\/em><\/p>\n

Food\/Beverage<\/strong> \u2013 This is already taken, but it would be helpful to have a few people keeping an eye on things. On Saturday and Sunday, we\u2019ll especially need a couple of people to help around lunchtime.<\/p>\n

Miscellaneous Prep<\/strong> \u2013 Random helping here and there that doesn\u2019t have a category.<\/p>\n

Remember that if you volunteer, or are sending an employee to volunteer, you must meet the WordCamp Central guidance for volunteers.<\/a><\/p>\n
