VOLUNTEER

The mission of our German Interest Group (GIG) is to help you research and understand your Germanic ancestors wherever they lived. Most months we provide virtual meetings with informative and interesting presentations given by people who are known for their German research knowledge. We also offer the opportunity for Attendee Sharing to talk with others, ask genealogical questions and share success stories.

A big Thanks to our current volunteers and the backup people who 1) obtain speakers, 2) record the meeting presentations, based on permissions, 3) submit publicity, 4) create the list of virtual events, 5) record attendance, 6) maintain our website, 7) update files, 8) perform Zoom tasks, 9) facilitate parts of the meeting, 10) send emails, and 11) perform other tasks as needed.   Some current volunteers perform several tasks. 

We would appreciate a few additional volunteers to share the tasks, especially during family emergencies, vacations, etc., and our current needs are listed below.  You will work with existing volunteers and most of these tasks require less than two hours.  All of them can be done from home.

We are currently looking for volunteers to:

• Help determine the least expensive way to accommodate more than 100 attendees, when needed. (This will require more than 2 hours in a month but is a one-time project.)

• Help as backup webmaster

• Help as backup person to send our emails

If you have any questions or want to volunteer, please Contact us. 

Thank you for your support.
