What we need

• Volunteers with interest or experience in managing in-person public events
• Good cultural sensitivity and emotional intelligence
• Providing assistance to the team and support the delivery of the Open House event on February 20, 2023 from 17:45 to 21:30
• Attending virtual briefing meetings (approximately 1-2 hour) before the event
• Encouraging and supporting participants to participate in the activities (including but not limited to taking care of the refreshment, setting up the venue, and handing fellowship program materials for participants)

Background

Every year, Resolve convenes and provides support to 20 extraordinary and diverse individuals from the community as part of our social justice fellowship program. They have strong interest and potential for social justice leadership and are committed to the theme of the year. This year, our fellowship is on the theme Closing the Learning Gap: (E)quality Education for all. Each year, the fellowship explores a different theme, but the model stays the same: a program that combines human rights education, campaigning skills and leadership development. It is a community for mutual support and learning and we offer 8 group workshops and mentoring to help the fellows build their capacity and leadership for social justice.

What we have

We have the tools, venue and experience designing and facilitating interactive events that build an intimate and supportive community for developing leadership. In the Open House event, we invite leaders, experts and previous fellowship alumni to introduce the Fellowship Program. The Event Volunteer can learn and experience how to run an interactive in-person event.

Why this is important

Education transforms lives. Access to quality education has the potential to be a great equalizer, providing a pathway to a better quality of life through increased job opportunities, improved socioeconomic status, and providing dignity, empowerment, and personal development. In Hong Kong, the inequitable distribution of educational resources and accessibility of opportunities is undermining the role education can play in supporting underprivileged students to achieve upward social mobility. In order to give interested applicants a better understanding of the Fellowship program and to answer questions, the Resolve team organizes this in-person Open House event. Participants will meet the Resolve Team and alumni of the Fellowship program, who will share with you the details of the program and their experiences. This volunteer role is essential to the facilitation of interactive activities during the events. You will also help create a warm and welcoming environment for the participants.
