Volunteer Assistant Co-Facilitators
There are ten volunteer assistant co-facilitator positions.
Three of the positions are:
- Support Group Supervisor
- Assistant Support Group Supervisor
- Sound/Video Supervisor
The
remaining seven assistant/co-facilitators will rotate through different
tasks throughout the three-hour broadcast.
Tasks include:
- Staging
- Camera operator
- Microphone handler
- Answering viewer telephone calls
- Reading
viewer's comments on camera
The term “assistant co-facilitator” is borrowed from
Kerry's Communication Skills
Workshop model. Volunteers who serve as assistants do what it
takes to present the CSG. They also have the job of being co-facilitators,
raising their hand at any time and contributing feedback during conversations
between the facilitator and a participant. This procedure ensures greater
accuracy and completeness with each conversation. Part of a co-facilitator's job
is to raise both hands and wave vigorously if they hear anyone communicating
abusively. Communications delivered by assistant/co-facilitators have
priority over all other communications, including those of the facilitator's.
Prerequisites

Assisting is comparable to advanced studies in leadership communication. It's
assumed that the assisting experience will lead to leadership-management
positions. Upon completion of the 24-week program assistants will receive a
letter of recommendation attesting to the fact that they have demonstrated:
1) A willingness and ability to work at an extremely high level of integrity.
2) An ability to operate from, and communicate from, responsibility.
3) Exceptional reliability and trustworthiness.
4) Exemplary commitment to civic responsibility.
5) An ability to function as a team member.
6) An ability to keep agreements and to honor their word.
Volunteers are needed for other jobs and tasks besides being an
assistant/co-facilitator. Waivers of the prerequisites are possible for single-task
and special assisting.
To volunteer send us an
email. Include your full name, email
address and a brief statement describing how you would like to assist.
