Activities for the volunteer: A few years back the Network SIP bought a big house and the vision has been to be an activity house, called Mästeriet, which is open for the public and civic society where we are hosting activities such as yoga, artwork, gaming nights, organizing meetings for associations and municipalities, children’s activities and birthday parties. The volunteer will help to coordinate these activities happening in our Activity house, meeting leaders, showing our equipment and put their activities in our schedule. In addition to that, the volunteer will plan and lead their own workshops, develop projects, and express their own ideas. There will also be a multitude of other tasks that the volunteer will do in between the main tasks. Examples of tasks: Prepare rooms and equipment for activities lead by others; physical or online Keep in contact with existing activity leaders Meet with people who are interested in hosting activities in our facility Coordinate activities within Mästeriet Open and close our facilities on evenings and weekends Create social media posts Meet with potential new activity leaders that wants to lead SIP’s own activities Help create an inclusive environment where everybody is welcome Socialize with visitors Organize your own workshops and activities Participation in joint projects and activities such as leading activities together with others and assisting with its organization such as the Pride parade and SIP’s joint Christmas party → You will also join other teams in the Network SIP during your volunteering, such as the maintenance team. Throughout that you get the chance to develop more skills and meet other people working in our house. These can include more practical tasks like constructing, screwing, painting or driving with a trailer. This is mainly a preparation for the summer when you will be leading a group of young people of summer workers and work manually with them. You can also help out in TLC (Tender Loving Caring, a pet organization in SIP) by joining dog walks, preparing a fika with dogs or feeding and cuddling the animals.
