To meet that goal, the Volunteer Coordinator performs a variety of tasks involving recruitment, training and communication. The person in this critical position will join our TEDxOakPark Executive Team.

OUTREACH TEAM
Help spread the word that TEDxOakPark is in the community. If you’ve got a couple hours to spare and are interested in chatting with locals in your area, reach out to us about how you can help us share the news about the TEDx Movement throughout the fall and winter.
EVENT SUPPORT
Between 10-15 volunteers are selected per TEDxOakPark event to help coordinate week-of, day-of activities. We always ask our previous volunteers how they’d like to be involved as the event rolls out. But we will invite others to join us November/December to help everything run smoothly!

WE LOVE OUR VOLUNTEERS!
We are grateful for our volunteers: we could not continue the TEDxOakPark movement without YOU.
