Generally, the makerspace helpers are a team of members who are known to "work the front desk". They do more than that, but it is the primary visible function of the role. We really need some help with hospitality and greeting people as they come in. It really makes a difference to have someone saying hello and giving a friendly greeting to members and guests as they come in. However, the Helpers also assist with roundups or tasks around the makerspace, do special projects, help with events, refill stock, check on supplies, maintain the rooms, and support events/classes.

Shifts are 3 hours each, Weekends 12 pm - 3 pm or Weekdays 5:30 (or 6) pm to 8:30 or 9 pm.
