Online Program Hosts

The Online Program Host volunteer plays a vital role in bringing Wellspring’s welcoming, compassionate spirit to our virtual programs. As a Host, you’ll help create a warm and inclusive environment for participants, ensuring they feel seen and supported throughout the session. You’ll also take the lead on the tech side: admitting participants, handling Zoom features like chat and screen sharing, and stepping in if any technical issues arise. Most importantly, you’ll help ensure that the Program Leader feels supported so they can focus on delivering an engaging, meaningful experience. This role is perfect for someone who is comfortable with technology, enjoys connecting with people, and is passionate about making a difference for those affected by cancer.

Responsibilities:
• Provide a warm and reassuring welcome to persons joining online programs.
• Ensure attendance is properly taken.
• Support members and the program leader in using the Zoom platform and tools.
• Launch the evaluation poll.
• Introduce the program or speaker and close the program.
• Connect with a program coordinator for any follow-up required concerning the program.
• Ensure Wellspring procedures are followed.
• This volunteer position does not include active visible participation in the programs, or
emotional support to members during the program.

Required knowledge, skills, and abilities:
• Must be at least 18 years of age

What’s the commitment? Online program hosts are asked to support a minimum of two programs per month. While we understand that personal circumstances might change, we ask that you do your best to commit to the role for a minimum of 6 months.
