Volunteer Shifts for the Holiday Kids Bike Giveaway are live!
With only 16 days left until the Giveaway we need to make sure we get everyone who is interested in helping us pull off this massive event involved. So how will you find the right shift for you? Here are a few FAQs we’ve received so far. Hopefully it will help you make your decision.
Will there be different shift lengths?
Yes! Several of the prep shifts before the Giveaway are shorter as well as the Event Set-up and Breakdown shifts
Are there any shifts that won’t be dealing directly with families?
Yes, we have a great need for Traffic Controllers and Bike Runners. All of which are critical to our day running smoothly and will still allow for you to share all your festive vibes with the families.
Will there be any shifts inside?
No, this event is entirely outside so dress warm!
There are only 14 POD shifts available, I thought there were at least 4-6 people in each one? Correct, but we’re asking you to only have your POD representative sign up for the shift. They will also need to email Maureen with the following information:
Pod members names, ages and the job they will be working
Do I have to wear an ugly sweater?
Well… no. We can’t make you wear one but it might be cold out so it couldn’t hurt!
If we’re assigned to an Alternate Pods shift and you don’t need us, will we still be able to volunteer?
Absolutely! We will be able to use all of your positive energy and skills in somewhere and we will try to let you know exactly what that is ahead of time so you can be prepared.
Is there going to be any information about our shifts before the Giveaway?
Yes! If you sign up for a shift we need you to attend a mandatory Zoom Shift Orientation next week. If you are not able to attend please let us know or your shift will be cancelled.
In an effort to try to meet everyone’s scheduling needs we will have several times available. More details to come
Hopefully this will provide you with a little insight to help you make the best decision for yourself. Thank you again for taking the time to volunteer with BBP. We wouldn’t be able to do any of this without you!! Bring on the holiday cheer and warm fuzzy’s!
