Volunteering

We cannot organize BSG events without the assistance of volunteers. Therefore, we are opening submissions as well. Only together can we make sure our events runs as smoothly as can be. These are the roles you can sign up for:

Event

Info desk: Be the first friendly face when visitors join the event in person! You will get attendees checked in, handle merch purchases, and oversee the rest of the event rooms.

Production

Tech: The backbone behind the stream room. You make sure the runners can take place, and accomodate their computer/consoles. Next to that, you will take the reigns on the stream, make sure everything is filled/cropped in nicely.
Hosting: As a host/donation reader, you will be the voice of BSG during your shift. Informing the stream of all the donations that come in, what's happening with the stream, prizes, sponsor reads etc.
Audio: Similar to the Tech shift, you will make sure that the stream will sound pristine. Make sure that the headphones are configured correctly for the runners, and audio is mixed nicely for the stream!
