As a Welcome Wagon volunteer, you're often the first real relationship a new member forms with CMA. Your job is to make people feel genuinely seen and help them find their place in the community.
Responsibilities:
Meet with new members in person to build a real, human-to-human connection
Explain mutual aid as a method of organizing built on relationships, not charity or service delivery
Use provided resources to help new folx discover ways to engage that match their passions and capacity
Introduce people to consent-based action and how to sustain themselves without burning out
Help new members join CMA's Signal infrastructure, or set up an alternative communication method that works for them
This role is a good fit for someone who loves meeting new people, can speak naturally about mutual aid values, and genuinely enjoys helping others find their footing.
If this sounds like something you can do, then contact by the email, phone or Signal provided below.
