Door Volunteers
Our door volunteers are responsible for creating a welcoming and positive environment for guests. In this role, you are the first to make a good impression on our guests – truly a critical role!
You must be friendly and approachable: Smile warmly and make eye contact with guests as they approach. Show genuine interest in their presence and make them feel welcome.
You must be knowledgeable: Be familiar with the club’s offerings and upcoming events so you can provide information and answer questions.
You must be organized and efficient: Arts on View has systems in place in order to keep the process as smooth as possible. As a volunteer, you will be supported by paid staff and other volunteers with advanced experience.
You must be flexible: Be prepared to handle unexpected situation such as VIP guests or groups, emergencies, or other surprises. It is important that you can stay calm and be solutions-oriented.
Overall, your goal as a door greeter is to create a positive first impression for guests and set the tone for their experience at the club. With a friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient attitude, you can help guests feel welcome and ensure their first impression is a great one.
