“Behind the Scenes” Activities
Equally as fun, these activities and groups provide opportunity for
- Digital Outreach & PR: This group manages our digital infrastructure (i.e. Volunteer Spreadsheet), digital presence (social media and website) and PR efforts. Contact: Lauraine Marcus
- Fun Raising: Fun-Raising is a group dedicated to planning hosting fun events for our congregants and community members. Contact: I
- Fund-Raising: Fund-Raising is a task force appointed by the Board of Trustees whose mission it is to raise monetary funds for UU Amherst through events and sales. Although they are board appointed, they are always looking for help! If you’re interested, contact Dian Tucker. Contact: Dian Tucker /
- Garden & Grounds Group: There are a lot of garden beds around our UU Amherst campus and a community garden in the front. All types of experience (including none!) are welcome for structured or individual tasks. Contact: Linda Joy
- Facilities: Our building is actively used by ourselves and many outside groups and therefore requires attention to be sure it is properly maintained, comfortable and welcoming. If you have skills in spring/fall cleaning, carpentry, painting, plumbing, wiring, Wi-Fi, media or in organizing others, this is the group for you. Contact: Don Tucker / INFO / INFO
- Sunday Morning Helpers: Volunteers for Sunday morning activities are always welcome! Here is a quick breakdown of each role. Weavers handle organizing the sanctuary, preparing for service and cleaning up after service. Extra Pair of Hands volunteers assist with childcare in Faith Development. Ushers greet people in the sanctuary before service and pass out the order of service. Coffee Hour helpers handle the kitchen prep and cleanup. Audio/Video crew assist with the technology during service. Greeters welcome congregants and guests at the Welcome Center in the lobby. Chalice Lighters & Water Pourers handle the rituals during service.
