Our Structure

Comin' and Goin'

• Trainings and workshop are open to everyone!
• Becoming a volunteer means being down with the vision, filling out an application, and working one shift accompanied by an organizer.
• Becoming an organizer involves saying you want to be an organizer, being an active volunteer for 6 months and developing a meaningful relationship with a group, set of parents, and/or kids. After 6 months, these folks, the potential new organizer, and the other organizers will figure out what's the best fit.
• If you are a volunteer and you want to leave Regeneración, contact an organizer and let them know why you can't/don't want to be a volunteer anymore.
• If you are an organizer and you want to leave, you have to make sure that the work you are responsible for will be handled by someone else.

Volunteers gotta:

• Maintain clear communication with organizers and any groups that you regularly volunteer with regarding your availability, capacity, and thoughts/concerns.
• Use the Regeneración listserve to keep track of childcare requests and other events and concerns as they are posted.
• Volunteer for childcare opportunities and participate in Regeneración gatherings as you are able to.
• Understand the Regeneración Vision Statement and keep it in mind when you are doing childcare or otherwise reppin' the crew.

Organizers gotta:

• Maintain clear communication and regular contact with volunteers, groups, parents, and kids with whom we regularly work.
• Use the Regeneración listserve and check the e-mail account to keep track of childcare requests and other events and concerns as they are posted.
• Volunteer for childcare opportunities.
• Organize Regeneración gatherings
• Support Regeneración volunteers and partner groups
• Assess and evaluate childcare opportunities
• Understand the Regeneración Vision Statement and apply it to your work and everyday life

Fielding Requests

For any childcare opportunity or group request for partnership, a specific organizer will follow-up both with the group and prospective volunteers to assess the groups need and our capacity.

Regeneración Gatherings

Organizers commit to coordinating around 6 Regeneración gatherings a year. Volunteers are encouraged not only to attend but to help in organizing as well if they are able to. We want to have one gathering a year that brings together the groups we partner with and honors the work that we do together. Another gathering will focus on mutual aid and money and will generally happen late January or early February. Other gatherings will focus on preparation for a major childcare request, skill building, political education, game creation, etc. Volunteers are encouraged to organize themselves in any way they see fit as well…these are just the gatherings that the organizers are committed to taking on.
