Volunteer

Thank you for your interest and support of Christmas in the City. This is the May posting.

We are putting together lists of volunteers to fill the following needs:

SOCIAL NETWORKING: A volunteer(s) who is comfortable with current social media, who can monitor CITC’s social media sites, and can update those sites as need arises. Someone can start immediately. We will need several people in this area in the fall.

ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS: CITC will need volunteers for a number of functions in the fall. These range from data entry, responding to emails/voice mails, helping with toy lists, processing children’s Wishlists, dealing with individuals and company’s requesting Wishlists, coordinating pick-ups and deliveries, registering families seeking assistance, and dealing with the details. Most of this work is at headquarters in Downtown Crossing. It starts slowly in mid-September and builds to a crescendo at Thanksgiving when we hoped to be fully staffed with volunteers through Christmas. Volunteer hours available at all times through early evening.

We will have a training session in early September for these volunteers.

OFF SITE ADMIN POSITIONS: We can use volunteers to schedule volunteers. Sounds funny doesn’t it? CITC needs several individuals who can schedule volunteers for the events, and set up spread sheets with the assignments. After initial meeting this work can be done remotely.

SATELLITE RECRUITING AND SET UP: Christmas in the City depends upon neighborhood groups, scout troops, athletic leagues, service clubs, church organizations and companies with community service programs for its pool of volunteers and source of gifts. Let us know if you would like work with CITC to contact organizations in your city or town to get these organizations involved with Christmas in the City, 2012.

Contact us at your convenience. Please put the volunteer role in which you are interested (satellite, administrative, volunteer recruitment, etc.) in the subject line of your email. (This is very important so that your email doesn’t get misplaced.)  Be patient.  We will get back to you.

Christmas in the City is a 100% volunteer effort and we are able to be successful with your support. Thank you.
