Volunteer Corner

The Internet Freedom Festival is created by the community for the community. It literally could not exist without the help of volunteers. If you would like to volunteer, please reach out the Volunteer Coordinator Victoria Sanches at [email protected]

To All Participants: Session Volunteers

This year at each session we will have three volunteer positions that must be decided upon before a session begins - copies of these, the Session Roles Cards, will be available in each room:

• Note-taker: Your job is to record agenda items, areas of agreement and disagreement, action items, etc. Several people can take notes at once!

• Timekeeper: Your job is to estimate the time needed for each agenda item and interrupt if people are going seriously over time.

• Gatekeeper: Your job is to politely interrupt people who have been talking too long.

The fourth position will be filled you, the presenter; however, in some cases it could also be filled by a volunteer depending on the session:

• Facilitator: Your job is to guide and structure the discussion so that it covers the relevant topics and participants feel progress has been made.

An online version of the Session Role Cards can be found here. .
