Get Ready to Help!

7/14/2019

 
I know everyone is super eager to start signing up for their shifts and I am super ready for that madness to begin! I am waiting on some final approvals from the Leads on their shifts before I release the shift spreadsheet. You can expect sometime early next week for that to become available.

In the meantime, the Volunteer Form is up and running and everyone can start filling this out. As a reminder: you MUST fill this out before signing up for any shifts. If this form is not filled out, the leads will not be able to approve the shifts you request on the spreadsheet. PLEASE fill this out first!

Two new things that are changing this year:
  1. I will not be doing the photos on the volunteer badges this year. Everyone will still receive a volunteer badge with their handle and some helpful volunteer information included on the back (helpful information TBD) but no photos will be accepted or included this year. Please do not try to submit one or reach out to me or the leads about sending in a photo.
  2. And this is a VERY IMPORTANT ONE! In order to prove eligibility for the Volunteer Incentive ticket codes for next year's event, all volunteers MUST check-in at Volunteer Headquarters before every shift to sign a log showing they made it to their shift. If you do not check-in and we are not able to track you post-event you run the risk of not getting credit for your shifts and thereby foregoing your volunteer incentive ticket code.

We understand that volunteerism is a hot topic every year, and it will continue being a hot topic every year moving forward until we all die, I am sure! We know the system is not perfect and every year we try to get just a little bit better and adjust our behaviors based on prior experience. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we explore new ways of doing things.

If at any time you have questions, concerns, or need guidance on navigating your volunteer shifts; please do not hesitate to reach out to me or the lead of the department you are interested in volunteering in. Also feel free to check out the Volunteer Page for a little insight on what each position will entail. Please also try to be mindful that we ourselves are volunteers with jobs and responsibilities outside of this event and may not be able to answer in the immediate moment. However, we will do our best to answer questions as soon as possible. We value your efforts and know this event would not be able to happen without our volunteers!

A Word From Sanctuary

7/9/2019

So you're going to Myschevia, and you want to volunteer for Sanctuary?

​











ALL SANCTUARY VOLUNTEERS NEED TRAINING ANNUALLY!

There is one scheduled Sanctuary training for Myschevia 2019 in Austin on August 10th. Additional trainings will be held in Dallas (7/27), Denton (8/25), DFW Safety Extravaganza (9/15), and on-land (Fri 10/11). Check the calendar for details!

EVERYONE NEEDS LISTENER TRAINING! It's one hour of mostly radical listening with some fun exercises peppered in to keep you awake.

We will accept any Sanctuary Listener training you have completed in the most recent 12 months before Myschevia. YES, WE ACCEPT TRAINING FROM OTHER BURNS (but please read our packet at the top of your shift)!

MHA's & SHIFT SUPERVISORS ALSO NEED SUPERVISOR TRAINING! (Don’t worry, it’s just a 30-min add-on to Listener training.)
Have real-world mental health experience? You're qualified to take MHA Training.
Have worked at least one listener shift and want to help supervise? You're qualified to take Shift Supervisor Training.

Time for the ticket roll call! 
​
As you know, LLC provided us with guaranteed incentive tickets for last year's volunteers, so there will be NO CRITICAL VOLUNTEER tickets this year. 

If you already have a ticket, great!
If not, start with Texas Ticket Fairy
 (which should be live for Myschievia by July 14th).
Next, try personal trades!
 

Safety team leads are working to connect our volunteers with available tickets. If you are planning to come to Myschievia and volunteer for Sanctuary, I will add you to the Safety team database. This is not a guaranteed ticket, and you should definitely keep looking through other channels!

Please let me know your ticket status via email. I will only add people to the team database who have indicated their need to me!

Thanks!

Almost there!

Greetings Earthlings!

As we’ve stated before, we ran into some ticketing issues that have left many confused. In an effort to maintain transparency, here’s where we currently are:

  • We are pulling from our processed charges in the credit card processor, and manually adding the number of tickets purchased into the Brown Paper Tickets site. We are approximately 75% completed on this task. Once the ticket is entered, an email confirmation is sent out. Due to the nature of the how the tickets are being entered, they do say “Free”, but will behave like a regular ticket. You will be able to exchange or transfer the name. Information on how to do so is within the email confirmation.

What’s the hold up?
  • we don’t have email addresses to attach to every ticket purchased, and are pulling that information from our database; however, we do not have all that information.
  • if we are unable to contact the ticket buyer, we will be willing to mail out ticket confirmations, but we hope this is not necessary

What are we doing about it?
  • our effervescent LLC intern, Alexandria, is messaging folks to confirm their contact information so we can update the information

What can you do to help?
  • if you received a charge from Brown Paper Tickets, and HAVE NOT received a confirmation at this time, please send an email to NTXB LLC. We will look up what we have in the database and get back to you on an individual basis. 

Thank you for fighting the laws of entropy with us.
NTXB, LLC.
