This is a new section of our website that is still being developed to help those who are interested in volunteering know what opportunities are available.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

Our group participates in programs that promote Environmental Stewardship such as clean up programs for hiking/biking trails, parks, nature centers, and/or streams/rivers. We participate in the annual state-wide Rivers Alive stream cleanup program.

Hotlanta Adventures organizes the Metro Atlanta Adopt-A-Stream Program which organizes/host community stream monitoring workshops. We have also adopted a stream that our group is monitoring.

For more information on these programs, visit our Environmental Stewardship section. These opportunities are typically announced in our eNewsletter.

CLUB OUTINGS AND OTHER EVENTS

There are a variety of volunteer opportunities in regards to assisting with outings and other events. You many want to perform one or more of these tasks at an event/outing or come up with your own ideas for where you might like to help. The categories below are given as suggestions to help those who are interested in volunteering have ideas of where they might like to help. We welcome your input and suggestions.

Trip/Event Coordinators

This is the primary person in charge of setting up and coordinating the event/outing. Their duties can include the following but they may also be assisted by our Club Leader or others in the group.

They are responsible for directions/maps to and at the outing location. They develop a tentative schedule for the outing which includes times for the meeting/carpool location, driving, breaks, activities, meals, etc. This person also works with the the Meal Coordinator in the planning of snack/meal/refreshments needs. This person may also be the Trip Leader.

Trip/Event Leaders

This is the primary person in charge at the outing, maintaining the schedule, and the point (or go-to) person during the outing or event. They also help to coordinate the other volunteers at the event. This person may also be the Trip Coordinator.

Point Person (meeting location)

This is someone who is the designated contact for checking in at an event. They check off participants from the reservations list, make phone calls to those who have not shown up to determine if they are lost or a no show, have participants sign the liability waiver, and give other directions. Depending on the event, these functions may be handled by one or more persons and can also serve as a Welcoming Facilitator.

Welcoming Facilitators

These people help to make our group more welcoming by greeting members as they arrive at events and letting them know where to sign in or other information. This person may also serve as the Point Person.

Club Promoters

This can be a wide variety of task from dropping off flyers at bike shops and outdoor recreation stores to assisting with tabling/exhibiting at various festivals and events to promote our group to potential new members.

Hosts

This is someone who may provide a location for an activity such as their house, condo, apartment, backyard, pool, clubhouse or other location for an activity. The Host of an event doesn't necessarily have to coordinate other aspects of the social function. We will help with as much as we can to make this easier for the host. The club has some items such as plates, drink tumblers, silverware, and other items to use at events to limit the responsibility of the host to provide dinnerware.

Meal & Refreshments Coordinators

Some events may have meals that are the responsibility of the group such as with overnight camping or cabining trips and cookouts. This person helps develop menus, grocery lists, and other needs for meals, snacks, and refreshments.

Equipment Coordinators

This person helps to make sure we have the proper equipment and supplies for an activity. They also coordinate the check-out and check-in of club or rented equipment at events.
