Virtual Opportunity
Greetings! I'm Jason, a co-founder of VillageCo , which is leading the Village Project . We're increasing connection and belonging wtihin existing communities using a model that's emerged from years of work in Seattle and Boise. Read on to learn more about us, and the opportunities for you to be involved as a volunteer either in-person or virtually. Our Approach We facilitate regular convening of groups using a Village Gathering Program. The Program consists of elements designed to enhance group cohesion and foster relationship building experiences. It can be used online or in-person settings, and accommodates a variety of personality types. The structure also allows members to share passions, engage the group in meaningful discussions, and take action together outside of gatherings. Where We're At Now We have 7 active communities with a combined 200 members. Some are growing fast. We've proven our core model, and have a scaling model. We have 27 volunteers with VillageCo supporting this work in 5 Circles (see below). The Need Most of our Villages have a very small group at the center keeping things going. And, most of our materials are in google docs and made with whatever skills were around. We'd sure love some help getting things looking better, and led skillfully! Your Opportunity We use a sociocratic governance method which makes it easy to get plugged in quickly and contribute meaningfully to our work. Here's a few opportunities: Finance Circle - *biggest need* We need eyes on our money, and help navigating increased cash flows, revenue streams, and expenses. Audit Circle - *big need* Calling all rule followers! We need to build out our policies, monitor compliance, and respond to legal and political issues that arise from our operations Circle Support - we have several technical circles (platform, communications, finance) which have skilled volunteers actively doing work. Here we need help with managing the group - looking for aministrators who can take notes and keep track of tasks and facilitators who can run meetings. Training will be provided for both roles. Thanks for reading! Help us move this all forward, and get plugged in to what (I believe) will be the next great civic engagement movement. Email us at Hello@VillageCo.org to get started.
