Volunteers Needed to Assist with One Night Count!

Friday, January 24^th, 1:00AM-5:00AM

Each January, volunteers like you help count men, women, and children who are outside during one winter night. The One Night Count sets in motion a full year of education, engagement, and action for Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness (SKCCH ~ pronounced “Skitch!”). We work throughout the year to make sure that every person who is homeless counts. We educate, speak up, and act at the local, county, state, and federal levels for safety, survival, housing, and justice – and you can be part of the action!

Over 900 volunteers go out with 125 trained team leaders to pre-arranged areas in parts of Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Shoreline, Kenmore, Bothell, Woodinville, Kent, Federal Way, Renton, Auburn, and White Center. The Count is only possible through the dedicated support from hundreds of individuals and dozens of community organizations, congregations and government agencies.

The ONC Area Lead for the University District has requested a few UW student and faculty teams to assist with this year’s count in our neighborhood.

Interested in volunteering? Contact Kaelyn at  caldweka@uw.edu by Wednesday, January 1 at 5:00pm

TEAM CAPTAINS are also needed. Please let Kaelyn know if you’re interested in being a Team Captain!

The project does not require technical background (other than basic excel skills) but rather an out-going personality and great communication.  The testers will essentially be speaking phrases/commands into the voice recognition on our devices and recording the results in excel.  Small job description is below:

·         Testing S voice app with multiple Scenarios provided from HQ

·         Need to test with excellent pronunciations/ability to correct test cases.

·         Observe errors while testing.(since using same test cases, person need to find differences day by day..)

·         Judgment skills(need to explain about failed test cases.)

·         Excellent excel skills(test cases is excel with formulas)

It will pay about $18-20 per hour.  If you can distribute this to anyone you might feel would have an interest I would appreciate it.  You can have them e-mail me their resume directly.”
