So I’m starting to notice a running theme: something gets suggested only to be kinda-sorta shut down because it would require volunteers.
I for one, would love to volunteer my time and skills to improving the space, but right now I struggle to do so.
I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in creating a spreadsheet where people who want to volunteer in general can add themselves, their skillset, contact info/Talk handle, etc.
My thoughts are, if the DMS needs volunteers for something, we could then reach out to people on that list who have relevant skills to see if they can schedule some time to work that. I’ve seen the idea of mentorships in woodshop, and people could list themselves as willing to mentor for various things so newbies know some people they could ask directly who might be willing to work with them one-on-one.
Or maybe an email list for when something comes up that needs volunteer help? Especially for things like clean up days that may not need specific skillsets, just time.
Anyways, just a thought. Let me know what you think.
