Volunteer FAQ
What is the time commitment required to volunteer with Montclair Mutual Aid?
There is no set time commitment - you can tailor your involvement to work with your schedule.
When are meetings?
We meet once per month, typically the second Wednesday of the month, at 7:30pm via Zoom. These are operational meetings where we go over open items and make decisions. We take detailed meeting notes for those who cannot make it. If you decide to create or join a specific initiative, those meetings can happen whenever the working group decides it is convenient.
How do I keep track of what is going on with Montclair Mutual Aid?
We will add you to our communications platform, Zulip, where you can join whatever channels are of interest to you, communicate with other members, and keep track of meeting notes, initiatives in progress, etc.
How can I learn more before deciding to join?
Please fill out our contact form and one of our members will have a short orientation call with you to give you basic information and answer your questions.
