Fwd: Bike Harvard Interest and Leadership Survey for 2017-2018

by Dudley Public Service

Dear members of the Dudley Public Service Listserv, Hi! We have received a request from Bike Harvard GSAS, a student group with an interest in cycling, to circulate the survey below. Please kindly add your voice! It's a very simple survey. :) Best, Dudley Public Service Team +++ Dear Friends of Bike Harvard, We hope you enjoyed refreshing weekends, even with weather on the gray side! I write to you on behalf of a new(ish) organization called Bike Harvard GSAS, officially listed as a graduate student group but with an interest in cycling across the university. As we head into the 2017-2018 academic year, we are looking for ideas, organizers, and leaders, and would love to hear from you! Please consider filling out our *interest survey below**.* *Fall 2017 Survey! * Bike Harvard is looking to expand its activities based on *your *interests and input. We focus on four key areas: - *Community*: social events, community-building among Harvard cyclists - *Outreach*: public service in the broader community, from high schools to homeless shelters - *Safety*: promoting safety education among all road users - *Advocacy*: challenging Harvard and the City of Cambridge to be leaders in safe road design Do any of these areas sound intriguing to you? What sorts of activities would you be interested in attending? What ideas do *you *have, that we can help you realize? Let us know by filling out our *Fall 2017 survey* <https://goo.gl/forms/rCHLTRykZQCxQnrt2>*!* *If there are **bike-related **events or projects you’ve been thinking about launching,** pitch those to us too, and** let us know how we can help you with funding, resources, and organizational suppor**t!* *New Leadership!* *W**e are looking for new leaders**!* Our available positions are listed below. These positions are all flexible: they can be as intense or as low-key of a commitment as you like. If any of these interest you, please list your email and position of interest at the bottom of the survey form (linked above), and/or email us with your questions and thoughts! - *Vice*-*President*: The VP helps to lead Bike Harvard by supporting the officers in organizing events, publicity, website and online presence, and envisioning new directions for the group. You can shape this position however you’d like! - *Treasurer-Secretary*: The Treasurer-Secretary handles funding through the GSC, along with any external grant-writing or fundraising ideas he or she wishes to undertake. This person also helps manage the email account and online presence. - *Director of Community / Outreach / Safety / Advocacy*: We seek a Director for each of our four program areas. The Director is free to generate and execute any ideas for events or projects that interest him or her, within the designated program area. The Directors and the other officers work closely to plan and organize events. As mentioned above, these positions are built to allow you flexibility to engage as intensively as suits your interests and your schedule. Let us know if you have questions! Ride on!

Hi, Dudley Public Service Listserv! Are you interested in volunteering at homeless shelters? Check out HSHS and Y2Y, wonderful student-run shelters in Harvard Square. The priority deadline to apply is tonight! Please find more information in the forwarded email below. :) Cheers, Dudley Public Service Team ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: [Pbha-open] [Read me] Apply to Volunteer with Y2Y/HSHS - Application Due 9/27! Volunteer With HSHS/Y2Y This Semester! Apply here <http://pbha.org/apply/> to volunteer with the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter and Y2Y this fall! The priority deadline to apply is Wednesday, September 27th. Dear friends, For almost 35 years, the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter has operated in University Lutheran Church, providing a safe and welcoming haven for countless people experiencing homelessness. *And* *in December of 2015, Y2Y Harvard Square officially opened its doors* for the first time to become the nation's first student-run shelter specifically for homeless youth between the ages of 18-24. Though we are separate shelters, we are united in the fight against homelessness. With our shelters opening on November 1st (HSHS) and October 15th (Y2Y), we need your help! You can volunteer with us on a regular, weekly shift (excluding Thanksgiving and Winter Break) by applying here <http://pbha.org/apply/>, or by joining the HSHS <http://lists.hcs.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/hshs-sub> or Y2Y <http://y2yharvardsquare.us12.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=8f998d57cfa0fd12ea…> substitute volunteer emailing list to help us out intermittently. If you are interested in volunteering with a group, you can find the HSHS group application here <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe8Z-X_Ohu7ZcPD_3uRPXvYs5drk-CntJZ…> and the Y2Y group application here <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSciOEiBBn18lZMJzwe9PV0rP-KpQJ3YeiM…> ! If you're curious about the history of HSHS (the first student-run homeless shelter in the nation!), our services or other volunteer opportunities, learn more by going to our website <http://hshshelter.org/>! You can also learn more about Y2Y , a shelter serving the needs of young adults aged 18-24 by visiting their website <http://y2yharvardsquare.org/>. And as always, please feel free to reach out with any questions. With much shelter love, Sophia, Cora, and the HSHS and Y2Y Families Description of Shifts Dinner: 6:45 PM - 9:15 PM Evening: 9:00 PM - 11:15 PM Overnight: 11 PM - 8:30 AM Breakfast: 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM *But if it is Saturday morning, then it is* Friday Overnight: 11:00 PM - 10:00 AM Saturday Breakfast: 7:30 AM - 10:00 AM DINNER -- You'll be making and serving dinner, and perhaps be lucky enough to run on a food salvage trip or collect pastries from the many shops that donate to us. EVENING -- This is a relaxed time to visit with guests as they prepare for bed. It's usually very quiet and a great opportunity for some wonderful conversations. Help is also often needed in the kitchen to clean-up after dinner and prepare plates of food to hand out at the door. OVERNIGHT -- You'll stay awake with other volunteers and night-owl guests, basically having more good conversations, watching movies, doing laundry, reading, baking cookies, etc! This is a fantastic shift because it's a rare opportunity to have long conversations and get to know people well. People often say it's the best shift! And never fear, we do take turns sleeping -- the night is typically divided into three shifts and you will be awake for one of them (there is a staff room with bunk beds, so you will be able to sleep when it is not your turn to be awake). BREAKFAST -- Come in bright and early to greet our guests as they begin to wake up! You'll be making breakfast and helping to clean the shelter (an invaluable service!) after all the guests leave at 8am.
