Join our dedicated Jumuaa Setup & Takedown Team and play a vital role in ensuring a smooth, comfortable, and organized environment for our weekly congregational prayers. Role Overview: The Jumuaa Setup & Takedown Team is responsible for preparing the prayer hall before Jumuaa services and efficiently restoring it to its original state afterward.

Key Responsibilities: Setup (Pre-Jumuaa): - Arranging prayer mats and establishing clear rows for congregants. - Setting up sound equipment (microphones, speakers) and ensuring proper functionality. - Placing and organizing chairs. - Ensuring designated areas for men and women are clearly marked and prepared. - Assisting with any other logistical needs to prepare the prayer space. Takedown (Post-Jumuaa): - Neatly rolling up/folding and storing prayer mats. - Disassembling and storing sound equipment. - Collecting and organizing chairs. - Light tidying of the prayer hall (e.g., picking up stray papers, ensuring cleanliness). - Returning the space to its standard configuration for other uses. Time Commitment: Approximately 30-45 minutes before Jumuaa and 15-20 minutes after Jumuaa prayers on Fridays. Volunteers will sign up for the shifts they are available. Skills & Qualities We're Looking For: - Reliability & Punctuality: Consistency is key to ensuring the smooth flow of Jumuaa. - Team Player: Ability to work collaboratively and efficiently with other volunteers. - Physical Ability: Comfortable with light lifting, bending, and moving items (e.g., prayer mats, sound equipment). - Attention to Detail: Ensuring the prayer space is set up and taken down meticulously. - Positive Attitude: A willingness to serve and contribute to a positive atmosphere.
