Volunteer Call Out

Andro and Eve is about bringing our community together, and one of the ways we do that is by working with a fab team of volunteers who give their time to help make our events happen. 

As we prepare for some activities in the coming year we’re looking to expand our volunteer team who support our events and workshops in a variety of ways. We’d love to hear from you if you’ve got some time and energy to help out.

Our volunteers assist with the following tasks at our events and workshops:-

– Interacting with our community, providing a warm welcome, giving directions, responding to access requests and assisting with crowd control.
– Decorating venues pre event; think hanging bunting, fairy lights, all the sparkle!
– Handling cash / using card machine for sales of raffle tickets / merch and cake.
– Keeping venues clean and trip hazard free! Clearing up after the event and packing away. 
– Helping safeguard our community, working with our Safer Spaces and Safeguarding policies. 
– Helping collect data from audience members and participants to support Andro and Eve’s evaluation processes.  

And for online events:-

– Admitting people onto zoom calls
– Monitoring the chat and providing support to participants
– Helping keep the online space safe, working with our Safer Spaces and Safeguarding policies. 

We’re also keen to hear from people who would be up for distributing our posters and flyers, this is an important part of helping us reach new people.

If you are interested in supporting a small queer arts organisation and meeting new people then becoming part of Andro and Eve’s volunteer crew might be for you.

Typically, we ask volunteers wanting to help with events to work with us on evenings and weekends, and for shifts of 3 – 6 hours. In return for your support, we provide:-

– Free food at in person events
– Local travel expenses covered
– Free training and support in advance of events
– Team socials 

As one previous volunteer said – 

‘Getting involved with Andro and Eve has been a great decision. There’s something really powerful about coming together and putting on these fabulous events to celebrate aspects of our queer culture. The team are so friendly, and it’s been a pleasure to meet so many new friends from those involved’.

If the above sounds good to you, you’re up for interacting with audiences, artists and participants, and you have some availability, then send us a message to hello@androandeve.com and tell us;

  1. Why you’d like to volunteer
  2. Where you are based
  3. If you’ve helped out at events before (any kind, and its okay if you haven’t)
  4. Any relevant skills related to the above duties that might be good for us to know about
  5. Any specific support you might need to access this opportunity. 

We’ll then liaise with you about the best ways to get you involved.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to drop us a line. We look forward to hearing from you. 

Volunteer Call Out!

We’ve organised a get together and training session for current and newbie volunteers with Andro & Eve on December 13th. With Vegan Cake! We’re expanding our volunteer event team to help us run our programme of feel good events. We basically don’t want any more photos to emerge of Drag Queens carrying chairs at our events.. Hi Apple Derrieres! 😉

So if you’re interested in events, love queer performance and don’t mind giving up an evening now and then to make ace stuff happen locally, join our friendly volunteer team! Ideally you’ll have attended one of our events before, but this is not a necessity. We’re looking for people who can commit to helping run two or three events a year and have a ‘can do’ attitude.

If you want to help us put on events, meet cool people, and guarantee at spot at our sell – out events by volunteering, then join us at The Old Workshop on December 13th for our volunteer training session. Come along and find out about Andro & Eve’s plans for future events focused on queer culture, from the duo behind Andro & Eve. We’ll be covering areas such as event management, health and safety (yes, we will make that interesting!), and the vision for Andro & Eve, as well as finding out a bit more about your reasons for volunteering. And we’ll eat vegan cake.

If you’d like to attend, please drop us a line using the contact form on our website. If you can’t make this event, but would still like to lend a hand, get in touch. Thanks!
