Art of Giving Gala and Auction: Volunteer & Event Staff Briefing

The Art of Giving is The Evergreen State College Foundation’s largest annual fundraiser, benefiting scholarships and educational opportunities for Evergreen students across Olympia, Tacoma, and Western Washington. Proceeds from the event enhance the quality of the Evergreen experience and provide access for many students who might not otherwise be able to afford a college education.

Volunteer assignments and specific job descriptions will be discussed during an orientation held by the advancement team Wednesday, February 22. At this time, we will also ask volunteers to complete a volunteer registration form. There will be specific assignments for each volunteer, however, we will be asking them to assist with other jobs as needed throughout the event.

Things to remember to provide for volunteers when planning an event:

  • Provide a volunteer orientation
  • Have clear communication
  • Provide information on arrival time and transportation/ carpool options
  • Brief them on dress code, if there is one
  • Have food/snacks and beverages for volunteers and events staff
  • Provide an area for  volunteers to store their personal items
