Volunteers needed for:
2010 NECTARENA COMMITTEE
2009 NECTARENA BEVERAGE BOOTH
2009 & 2010 OTHER NEEDS
Next year is San Francisco Pride's 40th anniversary and we need your help to make sure the NectArena Women's Stage presents our most amazing stage yet. We are seeking team oriented, dedicated, reliable, self-motivated and communicative individuals interested in helping plan next year's event. No event production experience required, but is definitely helpful if you have some. Unfortunately your time is not monetarily compensated, as we are a small team of volunteers, but your effort and commitment to the women's community will forever be engrained in the San Francisco Pride celebration. If you are 100% supportive of the women's community, have a passion for production work, music, or entertainment, and are seeking to be involved in one of the most powerful experiences in the history of San Francisco Pride, then contact Edaj at edaj@nectarena.com Requirements: 1) Able to commit to the stage production project for one year from August 2009 - August 2010. 2) Able to attend committee meetings regularly. Committee meetings are 1 - 1.5 hours weekly or every other week depending on the stage of the planning. Meetings may be held in Oakland or San Francisco depending on the committee members. 3) Able to be present and assist at the stage the day of the event in 2010 (typically the last Sunday of June). Positions: Volunteer Coordinator, Events Coordinator, Stage Manager, Marketing and PR Coordinator, and Sponsor/Artist Liaison. The committee contributes to the planning of the overall stage production regardless of the position as the production is a group initiative led by the Executive Producer. There is no monetary compensation for any of the positions, but plenty of perks and benefits are available for your time and effort.
Every year NectArena enrolls in the SF Pride Community Partner Program. The program exists to help raise money to support the SF Pride celebration. NectArena teams up with a local women focused non-profit organization and hosts a beverage booth at the festivities in exchange for partial proceeds from the booth. Hosting a booth 1) allows NectArena to raise money for the SF Pride celebration, the Women's stage and non-profit organizations, 2) allows the women's community, through NectArena, to be more connected with the non-profits that support the community the most, 3) helps build on NectArena's relationship with the SF Pride Celebration Committee and 4) helps provide more visability for the women's community through out the festivities. Volunteer Benefits: In addition to having an opportunity to meet dozens of other community-minded individuals, volunteers enjoy a number of perks. These include the Post-Pride Appreciation Party where volunteers will have the chance to win a grand prize and to enjoy free food and entertainment, an opportunity to meet and socialize with the women’s stage performers on the day of the stage, meals, snacks and beverages provided during beverage booth operations, a Thank You gift from our stage sponsors and a NectArena tee-shirt. 2009 Booth Information: 1) Booth Date: Saturday, 6/27/09 2) Booth Location: Larkin St across from Fulton St parking lot between the Asian Art Museum and the SF Library (btwn McAllister St and Grove St). 3) Volunteers needed from 8am – 8pm (come out for a two or three hour shift, your choice). Duties to be performed (depending on the time of your shift) include assisting with booth set-up and breakdown (tables, chairs, cups, supplies, etc.), dispensing alcohol to patron, collecting payment, assisting with inventory breakdown for easy distribution, tracking and return to SF Pride and keeping the booth clean and tidy. 4) Training Requirement: ABC Training is needed for those serving alcohol (or involved in the sale of alcohol). This needs to be in-date – anyone who did the training 3 yrs ago or more needs to do it again. SF Pride is offering the training for free at the Center at 1800 Market Street, SF. If you have taken the ABC training in the last 3 years, and have lost your RBS card (the white one), SF Pride may be able to replace it. Please provide Edaj with the year you took the training and SF Pride can search their database. If they cannot find this information, then you will have to retake the training. Trainings are limited to a maximum of 200 people. They are done on a first-come-first-served basis. If you turn up late, or are after the 200 person cut-off, you will have to wait for the possibility of another training that night (time permitting), OR come back on another day. There are no other dates available. Cut off time is 10mins late. For more information or to sign up please contact Edaj at edaj@nectarena.com
The NectArena Women’s Stage was on FIRE last year with exciting acts. This year the stage production is taking a break, but we have teamed up with San Francisco Pride and Miz Chris to present the Women's Pavilion, a dance area showcasing some of the best female djs in the bay. We are seeking volunteers for both the Women's Pavilion 2009 and NectArena 2010. Our goal is to find 20 volunteers for 2009 and as many as 60 volunteers for 2010 who will help us with various pre-pride events, the beverage booth or the NectArena event the day of Pride. Duties include flyer distribution, working at fundraisers, staffing booths (distributing beverages) and helping with event set up and break down. We prefer queer women but everyone is welcome to volunteer, regardless of age, race, or gender id. We offer plenty of perks and benefits in exchange for your time and effort. NectArena’s success is YOUR success so come help make it happen. Thanks for your on-going support!
