Opportunities From: Volunteer Spokane

We run a lot of programs at our RPG Community Center and other community locations throughout Spokane. We train volunteers as tabletop role-playing Game Masters to help us provide these programs to youth, adults, and seniors. We provide extensive free training.

The programs help participants improve social skills, cooperative problem solving, communication, and much more.

We train and provide games like Dungeons & Dragons, Doctor Who, The One Ring, Top Secret, No Thank You Evil, Star Trek, Star Wars, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, Kids on Bikes, FATE, and many others

We currently need at our Spokane facilities at least 10 more Level 1 Game Master Trainees to go through our training programs and help us provide games in our community programs.

Training is one 4-hour session per week.

Community programs are typically one 4-hour session per week as well.

This is a long-term commitment because the training programs take quite a while to complete.

We need trainees that can attend training Saturdays from 8:00 am to Noon.

Once trained, we need trainees to help cover community programs on Fridays 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm or Saturdays 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

Typically we don't ask you to work more than 4 hours in a day, and maximum 10 hours in a week (though usually only 4 hours per week if training, or helping with our programs, or 8 hours per week if attending training and helping with our programs in the same week).

The Spokane RPG Center needs a handful of people to be available each week to run our reception desk at the RPG Community Center in Spokane, Washington.

Hours will be weekly either Fridays 3:30 pm to 8:30 pm or Saturdays 12:30 pm to 5:30 pm (or both).

RPG Community Center Receptionist will generally be behind the reception desk at the entrance lobby for the center. You will make sure that community program participants check-in and check-out either on our clipboards or computer kiosk.

We would like to have a pool of at least 4 or 5 people willing to help us fill this role each week. While an easy position, it is important for our operations.

Will assist with unlocking/opening the doors to the lobby, and closing/locking them as public community hours begin and end.
