A Sample of Volunteer Roles
Team Managers
Love kids? Got snacks? Want to be part of an amazing development process? Team Managers are adults age 18 and up who facilitate Destination ImagiNation teams of up to 7 kids. Many TMs are parents, teachers, or community members. Local training and most resources are provided. Very much a facilitative and coordinative role, rather than an instructor.
School Coordinators
Coordinators help form teams within schools or districts, and provide leadership and support for Team Managers.
Event Volunteers
You name it. We need hands! Registration, greeters, merchandise sales desk, traffic directors, poster-hangers, numbers crunchers, packet stuffers, refreshments, and the list goes on. Typically single or partial day assignments.
Appraisers and Subject Matter Contributors
Engineers, theater and improv enthusiasts, scientists, (and those who may not be techies but love kids)----This one is for you! Appraisers watch team presentations and then award points according to established scoring rubrics at Tournaments. Typically a one-day commitment per season, plus just a few hours of training or orientation.
There are always local needs for accountants, marketing or publicity specialists, grant writers, computer and systems experts, fundraisers, training specialists, and individuals with other areas of professional knowledge and skill to consult, advise, help with projects.
Regional Directors, Affiliate Directors
Networkers, organizers, leaders, and passionate doers. Selfless individuals who share their time and talents to coordinate Destination ImagiNation activities for their local area or the state of Idaho. They develop and implement strategies to share Destination ImagiNation with schools and other potential participants and manage recruitment, tournaments, and events. They coordinate Boards and committees, may manage finances, and direct the successful delivery and growth of the Destination ImagiNation program in a particular area.
Community Boards and Sponsors/Contributors
Community Board members are typically individuals from the community who offer advice to the local Destination Imagination orgnaization. Meeting and event space, scholarship contributions, volunteers, supplies and materials, and services are always needed and appreciated.
