Hello,
I had a look at your survey answers on how you want the group to help you
enjoy your participation.
Thank you for the volunteering positions you suggested.
Below are some ideas. If you are interested in volunteering, please send
your names and preferred position to Rexford (nkansahrexford(a)gmail.com) cc
mailing list. Also post your interest in the Whatsapp group.
Here we go:
*–– Social Media Volunteer*
To manage our social media
*–– Editing Assistance Volunteer(s)*
I think I will even volunteer here myself. We will be the ‘helpers’ .
Anyone that asks for help in the mailing list or WhatsApp group we’ll reach
out to them. We will also point people to resources like the Tea House, the
real-time help desk etc
*–– Finance Volunteer*
For our user group level, we can’t have a Finance Volunteer because in the
community, for credibility and accountability reasons, the foundation
usually let people who apply for grants be responsible for the grants.
Eg If Ato applies for a grant for a project on behalf of the group, he’ll
have to account for it. It’s between him and WMF.
*–– Events Volunteer(s)*
To coordinate events
*–– Partnerships Volunteer *
Person must be a Barcamper and should be ready to engage iSpace, Impact Hub
and other hubs
*–– Partnerships Volunteer(s) (Tertiary)*
Volunteers must be a students and should be ready to engage schools to set
up clubs etc
*–– Wikipedia Education Program Research & Implementation Volunteer*
To research and help group implement outcomes. The person must have an
interest and experience in school systems in Ghana
*–– Gender & Diversity Research & Implementation Volunteer*
Are there PWDs in our group? Have we made an effort to include them? Can
they attend our meetings with ease? Are Ghanaian women editing enough and
easily? Have we inadvertently excluded or created some minority groups in
the way we do things? We need someone to help us answer these questions and
fix (or try to fix) the issues.
*–– Global Volunteer*
Keep an eye on the global community and help us catch up with trends and
conversations.
Please all volunteers will do their own secretarial work and report writing.
Please note that it is volunteer positions and doesn’t give salaries. BUT
we will agree on travel and participation support including internet and
other things for you through WMF and local sponsorship.
If anyone has any comments let me know or disagreements let me know.
Please we are voting Friday-Sunday. If you are interested in a position,
start campaigning :D
*Regards, *
