Athens Mutual Aid Network is pairing with COVAID.co to create a unique portal that will allow folx from a twenty-mile radius around Athens (we might be expanding this depending on resources) to request mutual aid. Persons requesting aid can request volunteers directly, based on location, language services, other forms of accessibility such as car mobility or legal services offered.

1. Assign general requests for aid to volunteers.
2. Re-assign requests for aid when a volunteer requested can't be available to help.
3. Act as a volunteer for aid requests.
4. Keep track of any bugs in the system or any additions that need to be added.
5. Coordinate with developers from COVAID and the Website director of AMAN to work out bugs and make improvements.
6. Maintain self care and rest

The following will be listed on COVAID as options for aid:
pickup&delivery (food, supplies, etc.), grocery shopping, grocery delivery, prescription pickup and delivery, family sponsorship, cooking/food preparation, pet care/dog waking for immunocompromised and elderly folks, art/music/writing offerings, emotional support, conversation/companionship (with social distancing), housecleaning, legal representation/advocacy (housing/labor especially), Neighborhood Point Person (reaching out to neighbors via word of mouth)

Athens Mutual Aid Network has transitioned all of our fundraising and fund management to opencollective.com, where we have been approved as a fiscally sponsored project. We are looking for 5-6 people who would be the team managing the funds donated to the mutual aid network through this platform. At least one member of the team needs to be available to attend the Sunday AMAN meetings at 2pm to give a weekly update.

Stewards will coordinate with each other to process hotline needs requests, approving invoices and reimbursement requests, and distributing funds to neighbors in need who are not eligible for other services. Open Collective automates all of the spreadsheets and data tracking. Stewards will have an active role in shaping the procedures and culture in distributing monetary aid.

Athens Help With COVID is looking for motivated students at UGA to identify and reach out to local Nonprofits and Community Service Organizations. These volunteers will be responsible for assisting organizations with posting volunteer opportunities on the website, and connecting them with volunteers.

Persons requesting aid can request volunteers directly, based on location, language services, other forms of accessibility such as car mobility or legal services offered. Volunteers can deny requests so that an admin can reassign the request to someone else.
As a volunteer, you will do the following:

1. Help in the capacity asked of you, if you feel yourself able and willing.
2. Complete volunteer requests within 48 hours or pass the request for aid to a volunteer who can complete the request.
2. Coordinate with admins and the web director of AMAN if you cannot take a volunteer request or if you need to buddy up to complete a request.
3. Maintain self care and rest.
