What do I actually do as a volunteer?
Answer
There are a few different roles at a WTF Diamond, and it's common for people to take turns doing all of the roles:
- The Diamond Team: Volunteers in the Diamond are responsible for holding a sign or a screen. You will typically swap out after 30 minutes (or earlier if needed) to take a break.
- The Outreach Team: Outreach team volunteers talk to members of the public who stop to view footage.
- Stall Volunteers: Some teams also run a stall or table alongside Diamonds, giving out samples or resources.
Don't worry - If it's your first time attending, you are welcome to shadow experienced activists and learn the roles from them.
