You will contribute to the smooth running of the event, working in the background to ensure that the clerks are supported. Microphone stewards: In open worship, you will wait for the Elders to call Friends who rise to minister. During session, you will listen for the clerk to call you to pass the microphone to a specified Friend. You will be required to be unobtrusive whilst the speaker has the microphone. Doorkeepers: you will facilitate the entry of people into the Large Meeting House, welcome them and hold back latecomers until suitable breaks in the proceedings. You will need to be in position 20 minutes before the sessions start.Onsite hosts We will need volunteers to welcome Friends to the building in the morning and to act as human signposts. You should be able to arrive at the venue by 9:00 a.m.Reviewers for Children & Young People's programmes This work takes place after Yearly Meeting. Do you enjoy hearing about people’s experiences? Are you good at highlighting what’s gone well and identifying areas for development? Children & Young people are an integral part of Yearly Meeting, and each year we offer an opportunity for someone independent to summarise the experience of participants and team members. You would play a part in ensuring that these events continue to make a difference to the lives of young Quakers. After Yearly Meeting you will be sent copies of the feedback forms which you will review against the aims of the event. The report is then sent to the committee that oversees the programme. Previous reviewers have commented that reading about the experiences of participants is a rewarding opportunity. You would need to be available to complete this task within a few weeks of the Yearly Meeting session.Sign up for volunteering sessionsBelow you can sign up for the roles and shifts that you wish to do.
