COLAGE seeking staff for Family Week
From COLAGE. No experience necessary — just a belief that you, as a person with LGBT parent/s, have something to bring to the table for the younger generations.
Be a part of the COLAGE Family Week Volunteer Staff Team!
COLAGE is thrilled to once again be a part of Provincetown Family Week coming to Ptown, MA in Summer 2006. (July 29th- August 5th, 2006). During this week, hundreds of LGBT families take over a town for parties, family events, workshops, dances, beach time, and more. We are looking for adult COLAGErs (Folks 18 and over who have one or more lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender parent/s) to serve as volunteer COLAGE staff for this fun and inspiring event.Who can apply? To be a part of the COLAGE Family Week Staff you must be at least 18 years old; we are especially are looking for people who have one or more LGBT parent(s), people of color and men to join our staff.
What does it mean to be on the Family Week Staff?
If you commit to serve as volunteer staff it means that Family Week becomes more of a job (albeit a fun and exciting job) than a vacation. We also do ask that our staff commit to being present for the entire week starting with staff training on July 28th. In addition to the week of the event itself, Family Week Staff will help with workshop and activity planning beginning in May 2006 via email and 1 or 2 phone conference calls in the month and a half prior to Family Week.In return, you have the chance to affect the lives of youth with LGBT parents by sharing your experiences, your enthusiasm, and your energy with an amazing group of youth. You also have the unique opportunity to connect with other adults with LGBT parents who are a part of the team. There will be time to enjoy the queer friendly vacation atmosphere of Ptown. And lots more!
