COMMUNITY WORKDAY ORGANIZER
When: 1-2 times a year (Fall & Spring)
Where: Varies

One to two times a year (fall and spring) the BCC coordinates a community workday in a neighborhood in need. One to two volunteers are needed t0 work with George Klein (BCC Board Member) and Bob Dibble (Golfers Fore Others) to organize these workdays. Existing contact information and workday materials are provided (waivers, signup sheets, posters, etc.).

A community workday organizer would help to update signs and flyers, coordinate obtaining dumpsters, food, water, tables, and chairs using our existing contacts. They would also attend the workday as a BCC representative to place posters and signage, help check-in volunteers, direct volunteers & families to scheduled activities, answer any questions, and help to ensure the day runs smoothly.
