Summary of Nov 23rd Volunteer Meeting

> New/Interested Volunteers: Please contact Julie Pham at etchseattle@gmail.com to get paperwork, sign up for an orientation, join our email listserv, etc. She is currently accepting applications but the cutoff date for this application cycle is coming up soon so please contact her ASAP!! 

>Ropes Training: To sign up for ROPES training, look up and contact New Horizons. People have found that contacting the company will get you a quicker response than emailing them. 

>Task Delegation/Leadership Opportunities for Volunteers
We are looking for volunteers interested in helping us with some administrative/leadership roles. 
      1) Contact Manvir Kaur (manvirk@icloud.com) if you are interested in helping to clean up our Google Drive (which now has about 7 years of ppt presentations!!) It's a daunting task but we're hoping to create a small committee of people tackle it and make material easier to access for everyone :)
      2) Contact Will Tsang (tsang@uw.edu) if you would be interested in running sessions for our volunteers to help them deal with issues they might encounter in sessions. For example, some topics that Will suggested at the meeting included how to avoid/deal with violence/crisis situations, cultural sensitivity, or simply dealing with homeless people. If you are passionate about any of these topics, or have other suggestions, we would love to hear from you. You can opt to lead a discussion on these topics if you are interested in doing so as well.
