#volunteerspotlight

Did you know that NoVAGO is 100% run by volunteers? They are ordinary geocachers who want to give a voice for the the wider geocaching community while supporting efforts in their own Northern Virginia area. To spotlight opportunities in the org, we are running a series of job profiles between now and our “Thanks Event,” the annual volunteer appreciation lunch in January.

NoVAGO Volunteer Profiles: Geocaching 101 Classes

Northern Virginia Geocaching Organization is the official face of geocaching in our area. We frequently get requests from members of our community to give presentations about the hobby. We work with schools, scouts, libraries, parks and other groups. This educational outreach is part of our commitment to safe, responsible, and environmentally responsible geocaching.

Each request is unique and so every presentation must also be slightly tailored to its audience. We need volunteers who love talking about their favorite hobby, geocaching. We make every effort to find someone close to the community, so it is helpful to have a group of possible speakers to select from. Not great at public speaking but still want to help? Larger talks sometimes need a logistics person to coordinate the event. We also have opportunities to promote geocaching one-on-one at event tables. Letting the board know about your interest, does not commit you to anything. We will contact you if we think we have a good project or class for your skills and abilities.

To offer your services as a presenter, OR to request a presentation for your group, e-mail officers@novago.org
