Volunteer with Us

Are you a cheerful people person, and a natural community-builder? We’re looking for a Front of House Lead to support our team of  volunteers as they welcome attendees to Sunday Assembly.

Front of House Lead is the ideal role for a gregarious person who wants to give their time to a community and build their experience of events organisation, fundraising, and community management. It is a great way to get involved in Sunday Assembly behind the scenes. It’s all about making sure everyone feels safe and welcome!  

What will you be doing?

Assemblies take place twice a month, on Sundays, and front of house volunteers do a range of different things to make sure everything runs smoothly on the day. We ask front of house volunteers to arrive at 10am, and the event finishes at 1pm.

You’ll also join regular meetings with the Coordination Crew to plan upcoming Assemblies, and contact the volunteers to ensure everyone is prepared for each event. It is roughly 8 hours of volunteering a month.

What difference will you make?

It’s vital that new attendees and regulars alike feel looked after at our events, so that we can keep building a community worth being a part of!

You’ll be able to develop and support a team of volunteers, and help to make decisions about how the Assembly is run.

Sunday Assembly London is always looking for friendly people to greet newcomers and make sure the event feels like a welcoming place to be!
