*** ALSO SEEKING VOLUNTEERS ***

QueerConf is one of the largest LGBT events in the Northeastern United
States and it takes a lot of people to make it work! If you are interested
in volunteering during the conference then we encourage you to do so!
Volunteers will be fed during the conference and can get up to 20 or more
CEL-1 hours over the course of just two days! It also looks really
fantastic on a resume! While we definitely want volunteers who can dedicate
their time for the entirety of the conference, if you can only volunteer
for a portion of the conference then we still appreciate it and encouage
you to volunteer! We can really use every hand that we can get!


If you want to volunteer then please email the volunteer coordinator:
jci12 at hampshire.edu ; with your name, pronouns, preferred email, dietary
restrictions, and any (dis)abilities you have which would help in knowing
who is best suited for which tasks during the conference.


*** PLEASE FORWARD THIS INFORMATION FAR AND WIDE. THROUGHOUT AND BEYOND THE
FIVE-COLLEGE COMMUNITY ***


This event is open to the public for people of all identities! Please tell
all of your friends in every state  and county if you think they would be
interested in volunteering or running a workshop.
