Become a New York Insight Event Volunteer!
An Online Training Session for online and hybrid events
Friday, April 7th, 2023 | 4:30pm – 6:00pm
Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: serve.
Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind.
Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work.
—William Arthur Ward
New York Insight relies on volunteers to create a welcoming and organized atmosphere for all our events. NYI is almost entirely volunteer-run and generosity is vital to the existence of our community.
The center needs you to help prepare the online space for our events and support participants and teachers. As an event volunteer, you’ll learn more about New York Insight and become an active member of the community.
Through volunteering:
-You enter a path of service where your service is your practice and your practice is service
-Build a greater sense of Sangha
-Serve your local Dharma community
-Practice generosity
-Deepen your practice by exploring relationships between you and others
What to Expect: Event volunteers arrive 15-30 minutes prior to the event start time to review the logistics with the teacher(s). In the online Zoom platform, they make announcements, provide technical support to participants, help facilitate questions and comments, and provide other forms of support as needed, such as organizing breakout rooms for small group discussion and sharing screen to display videos, music, or text.
Requirements:
A stable internet connection and comfort with Zoom.
All volunteers are required to attend a volunteer training session prior to their first volunteer event.
In exchange for this service, you will be able to attend events for which you volunteer for free. You will be accumulating credit points that will enable you to join other programs for free, or at a discount.
To prepare for this training and your role as an event volunteer, we ask you to please review the resource documents in this folder.
