Thank you for your interest in facilitating one of Chamber of Mothers' local chapters! This organization is deeply indebted to the efforts of all of its many volunteers.
ROLE DESCRIPTION: Local Chapter Facilitators organize and hold a safe space for their community's mothers to gather, connect, and organize for collective action under CoM's three pillars: affordable childcare, maternal health, and paid leave.
Logistically, this includes scheduling, securing a location and necessary technology for local chapter meetings between 4-12x per year (based on local need), communicating & coordinating details with CoM, managing guest & wait lists, making childcare arrangements for the meeting as appropriate, leading the meeting using CoM Local Chapter Guides, reporting meeting minutes to CoM, and submitting reimbursements.
On a more abstract level, an ideal facilitator is someone who is both connected to their community, dedicated to community service, and capable of holding space for sometimes painful and difficult conversations. Facilitation skills are not required but highly recommended. All chapters will have at least two facilitators. This is a volunteer position, though each meeting will have a small budget to help accommodate expenses. Expected time allotment is 5-8 hours per month.
