Yoga Journal Work Exchange
Program: 2014 San Francisco Conference, January 16 - 20
in San Francisco, California
Dear Friend,
Thank you for inquiring about a Work
Exchange position at the 2014 Yoga Journal San Francisco
Conference.
The
Work Exchange Volunteer Program is available for
qualified participants who are interested in assisting
the conference managers in the production of the
conference. The program is an excellent way to become
involved behind-the-scenes, while participating in a
world-class yoga gathering. There is a nominal fee
and a partial rebate is given to those who satisfactorily
perform their duties. This program is not for those who
are seeking a full schedule of yoga. We are seeking
people who wish to be vital members of the conference
management team, while being able to participate in a
limited number of classes.
Interest in this program is always. If
you would like to apply please send us:
1) a resume or work history
2) a statement telling us
why you are interested in this program. We would like
to know your educational and employment background and
not necessarily your experience with yoga (hint
we
know you do yoga, tell us what makes you a great
volunteer).
You can apply via email to yoga@horizonconferences.com or
via fax to 303-447-3946, Attn: Heather.
Below is a complete description
of the program.
- Work
Exchange Volunteers must be available from 11:00
AM Thursday, January 16 through 5:00 PM Monday,
January 20, 2014, including evenings.
- Work
Exchange Volunteers will be required to work up
to sixteen hours. This includes helping at the
Registration Desk, assembling goody bags,
assisting with audiovisual, working at special
events and other management tasks. Some
moderate lifting is involved.
- There
will be a mandatory orientation meeting for
volunteers at 11:00 AM on Thursday, January 16. At
that time work-schedules will be distributed. The
remainder of that day and evening well be
involved in organizing for the arrival of
conference participants.
- Work
Exchange Volunteers will be required to be a door
monitor for up to six classes. You will be able
to participate in these classes fifteen minutes
after the class begins.
NOTE:
Fulfilling door monitoring and mat placement duties can
be demanding and requires that you be firm and diplomatic. Class
sizes are controlled by allowing only registered
participants to enter and participants are required to
place their mats according to our configurations. If
you become a Work Exchange Volunteer it is imperative
that you are comfortable enforcing these regulations.
- Work
Exchange Volunteers can participate in classes
when not working. These classes are taken on a
space available basis and volunteers are not
eligible to register for classes.
- Work
Exchange Volunteers are charged a $200 fee. Each
volunteers performance is rated and within
four weeks of the end of the conference, those
with a satisfactory rating are issued a $100
rebate. (Note: the $200 fee is considered as
a commitment on your part and will not be
refunded should you cancel.)
- Yoga
Journal has a block of discounted rooms reserved
for our group at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco.
We encourage you to make your reservations early
and mention Yoga Journal to receive the special
group rate of $199 (single or double) plus tax;
Guest rooms are limited. This discounted
room rate will be offered a space-available basis
until Monday, December 24, 2013. All lodging must
be booked directly with the hotel. To book a room
online click here
or call 1-415-788-1234.
For purposes of communication prior
to the conference, we require that each volunteer have an
email address. The Work Exchange Program is a great
opportunity to network and make friends with other
volunteers while sharing a common goal of providing
service to the yoga community. And, of course, youll
study with some great teachers.
Selections for the Work Exchange
Program will be made in the near future. We look
forward to receiving your application.
Sincerely,
Bonnie Luftig
