Volunteer Program

The Strother School of Radical Attention (SoRA), a leading non-profit initiative in ATTENTION ACTIVISM, is seeking volunteers!

This is a unique opportunity to get involved with a dynamic, community-driven organization. As a volunteer, you will play an integral role in the rapidly expanding scope of our in-person programs at the SoRA Sanctuary in DUMBO - from exhibition openings to community events and our signature program, Attention Labs. You will be a spokesperson for our organization towards new faces, and help enhance the accessibility and smooth logistical flow of our evening events. This is what a typical “shift” will look like:

• Front door greeting: Usher visitors in through the front door, direct them to the seventh floor, and answer questions about location or our programs. Flag the event hosts of any access issues.

• Sanctuary greeting: Welcome visitors through the sanctuary door, and answer questions about the event that evening and other programs. Flag the event hosts of any access issues.

• Assist event hosts with setting up tables and any equipment needed for the program.

• During the event, mingle with the participants, make them feel comfortable, and help them gain a holistic understanding of what SoRA is all about. We seek an enthusiastic “what can I help with?” attitude.

• Assist event hosts with breaking down the set up, and basic housekeeping of the space after the program ends.

Volunteer hours can be used for high-school and college internship credits, as well as toward non-profit volunteer hours.
