VOLUNTEER

Register & Sign up below to volunteer at the Spring Mycelial Gathering in PHILLY!

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the us! This grassroots event is built through the hard work and collaboration of many people, and this sort of organizing could not be possible without volunteer support.

Sign up before volunteering spots fill up!

Our tentative deadline to sign up for volunteering is April 25th

Why Volunteer? 

Through volunteering at our Gatherings, you will get to be part of a dynamic team of organizers and volunteers that are working together to make this event happen, and watch your contributions help build a vibrant space and mycelial community. No matter your team, you will get a glimpse at what organizing an event of this scale looks like on the back-end, and meet a wonderful group of people who are making it happen alongside you!

Policies

As a part of the team, we expect you to be dedicated, reliable, and hard-working. Planning on volunteering during the Mycelial Gathering? While we want you to attend all of the classes that you wish to, you will be responsible for prioritizing your assigned tasks when they need to be done. 

Our volunteers are an integral part of building this event, but before we commit to working with you, we want to get to know you a little better. We also want you to have the opportunity to learn more about us, the event, and what participating as a volunteer will look like for you. For these purposes, you are required to attend a virtual interview scheduled on an individual basis following your application, and a virtual group orientation prior to the Gathering.

What to Expect After Applying

We will send you an email confirming the submission of your application. We have a follow up 1-on-1 virtual interview. You’ll receive your specific volunteer details soon! If you have questions please write to newmoonmycology@gmail.com.

Once again, thank you for your interest in volunteering. We can’t emphasize enough how grateful we are for your support, and we truly could not do this event without our amazing volunteers!

Volunteer applications tentatively close on April 25, 2024 at Midnight EST
