New Volunteer Orientation HOWTO

Briefly, the Orientation involves:

= New Volunteer Application= We need to collect some information about each new person: Name, address, other contact data, etc. Mothership has a form for this, a link should go here.

Mothership's Volunteer Application form is available here as an .odg file (LibreOffice). We will probably need to make some changes to this form before using it, like using our logo instead of theirs and changing some other information. For example, we are not currently able to provide court-mandated community-service hours as far as I know.

== Free_Geek_Seattle:About== The organizer performs a brief introduction to Free Geek Seattle and the new volunteers' potential place within it. Explain the Build and Adoption programs at minimum.

== Questions from the audience == If you've done the presentation reasonably well, there will be few or no questions. If you've done it really well then there will be several, but probably not more than five minutes' worth.

FAQ

As these meetings continue we'll likely see some questions more than once. This is a place to put those questions and their answers for facilitators' reference.
