They also help maintain a positive & respectful environment at events & represent the organization in a professional & respectful manner. Booth volunteers may also be responsible for event setup & breakdown, ensuring that all necessary harm reduction supplies & equipment are stocked, maintaining accurate records, coordinating with the Roaming Team, assisting event attendees with medical emergencies or issues related to substance use, & reporting any incidents or concerns to their Team Supervisor.
Roaming Homies
The Roaming Homies Team volunteers provide essential harm reduction support by actively engaging with event attendees throughout the event space. They roam the venue, offering harm reduction supplies, & information to event-goers while assessing the overall safety of the event & identifying areas of concern, such as overcrowding or potential safety concerns. Roaming Homies act as a visible harm reduction presence to promote the safe use of drugs & alcohol, monitor & respond to medical emergencies, & alert the appropriate personnel. They work closely with the Booth Team.
