Want to help out at The Pond?

We often get questions about volunteering, and while we are not able to offer stable volunteer positions, we always appreciate and could use the help.

Aside from hosting and organizing a specific event –which you can always reach out to us about– here are some specific things that you could do if you wish!

There is absolutely no obligation to volunteer your time and energy in this way! This is simply for those looking to help. This list is compiled here for you to see clearly what makes sense with your skills and experience, and discover where we can meet in time and energy capacity, and ideas.

A list of things that need to be done!

If you have decided you’d like to offer your assistance in any of the above pursuits, or have an idea not listed –please fill out the form and we will reach out to you as soon as possible to coordinate and organize together.

Let’s Work Together

Additional info

Payment

All events hosts and various tasks done by members of the community are done on a volunteer basis. We offer you a drink on the house as thank you. We do not do paid events, as it’s important to us that our events are accessible to everyone.

New Ideas

You’re very welcome to come to us with ideas, feedback, and wishes for The Pond –whether it is something you’d like to personally organize/initiate or an idea you’d like to see come into fruition. The Pond is just a space and we want it to evolve into what is needed.

Communication

We prefer all communication to go through email. If this is not possible for you, you can also reach us on instagram and discord, or visit us physically in the bookstore café.

Evolve with us

The Pond has been shaped by the queer people who have approached us about hosting events, selling their art in the shop, and expressing their wishes to us. If you’d like to see something happen, the best way is to reach out, talk to us, express your needs and interests.
