Frequently Asked Questions
I want to volunteer. How much time does it take up?
As much or as little as you want to give. Being on a committee can involve meetings of an hour or so and helping with any tasks that need to done -booking performers, posting a newsletter, organizing an event or program. Board members meet on a monthly basis and provide support to the relevant committee or volunteers. Come to a Neighborhood Meeting to find out more or contact us to meet for an informal discussion to see what suits.
What experience do I need?
None. You just need a big heart, a vested interest in the community and a few hours to help make this the neighborhood we all want to live in. But if you have experience in running events, marketing, finance, legal/governance, or any professional skill that can help that works for us too!
What's in it for me?
Certainly not vast wealth and glamor! All positions are unpaid. But you will meet some great people, have fun, feel great pride in what we do and know that you are a big part in what makes our neighborhood so special.
Do I have to live in Madison Park?
To be a Board member you have to live/work/go to school in Madison Park or an adjoining neighborhood. To volunteer or be on a committee you just have to love Madison Park.
Anything else I need to know?
Nope. Just send us a message through the contact us page. Happy to answer any questions and meet for an informal chat. List of what we need in the immediate is posted here. Friends of Madison Park can provide more “job” descriptions and whatever support you need to get started. And tap a friend, neighbor to help you out.
