Get Involved!

Besides facilitating and taking classes, there are two primary ways to get involved with EXCO, volunteering and organizing.  Within each category roles and tasks do sometimes overlap or are even the same, but in general a volunteer contributes occasional support while an organizer makes a more sustained commitment.  Whatever you have to give will help to make EXCO a stronger community for all of us!

Organizing

WEEKLY EXCO PLANNING MEETINGS We are an all volunteer crew so we could use your help! We'd love it if you'd get involved either via collaborating organizing groups or signing up to volunteer.

Before attending a meeting it is always wise to make sure things are as as planned by contacting us or checking for events. We have three organizing groups that meet regularly:

-Macalester contact Jason at jasonrodney@gmail.com/216-403-2740.

-University of Minnesota, contact Eli eli.meyerhoff@gmail.com/763-607-7034

-Academia Comunitaria, contact Christian at legado_dt82@yahoo.es/612-207-4901

Volunteering

EXCO volunteers are called on to do a number of very essential tasks!  We send out general calls to our volunteers to help with things like flyering, calling EXCO facilitators and participants, help for specific events, and more.  When you are available your efforts will be greatly appreciated but if not thats OK too.  If you know you want to find ways to give back to EXCO but don't have the time to make a regular commitment then signing on as a volunteer is the thing to do! 

To sign up as a volunteer, just CLICK HERE and join the EXCO volunteer google group.  Emails will be sent out when opportunities arise.

Alternately, if you would like to leave a phone number, or have a specific idea for a way to volunteer, email us at excotc@excotc.org or call 651-998-9268.
