If you want to help, but aren’t clear yet on what you want or have another position in mind, please fill in the form too and simply state “unknown” or a general idea of what you’re looking for in the preferred position/comments section. We welcome any form of help!
The Swing in Utrecht board is looking for one or two people who want to become Community Organizer.
This is a big but very rewarding function and you definitely don’t have to do it alone. Let us explain: Basically, this function includes two core tasks: making sure there are enough volunteers and they are happy. Volunteers make the community what it is and we feel strongly about making sure they feel appreciated. The other task is related: making sure our socials (at the moment: Hopspot, Hopspot Live, and Blues) are happening and the organizers have enough resources and support.
So basically in this function you are making sure our community is flourishing. Of course with the support of others such as the board and all our volunteers.
As a HopSpot organizer you’ll become part of the great HopSpot team. This team works together to have the weekly social. As an organizer you are, together with somebody else, responsible for a specific HopSpot, including setting up, announcing the teachers and DJ’s tidying up, and being the general person people can ask questions to. You choose when you want to organize and how frequently.
During HopSpots our music is provided by lovely DJ’s. So if you like swing music and you would be willing to share some tunes (can be via Spotify) during a HopSpot, becoming a DJ might be for you. To start we will set you up with somebody who already DJ’s and they can help you out with starting up.
The Bandnight Team organizes our monthly HopSpot Live with amazing live music and swinging dances. They are looking for a new member to join their group to make sure these events keep happening. You can choose what you want to help with specifically.
Be a key player in organizing our monthly HopSpot Live events. Choose your preferred role and help ensure the ongoing success of these amazing evenings.
We have one big event a year: SwingDom! But we would like to have some more. Maybe a small workshop weekend, a Solo / Blues / Shag / Balboa festival, something else… You decide this as the Event Coordinator. You have an idea or someone brings you a great plan and you find a team to make it happen.
Elevate our events with the Event Support team! Contribute to SwingDom, Shaggin’ Utrecht, and other swing dance gatherings, playing a pivotal role in creating exceptional swing dance experiences!
