Oxfam America Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Oxfam America is looking for supporters to help spread the word about our campaigns to create lasting solutions to poverty, hunger, and injustice at every Coldplay show on the U.S. Viva La Vida tour...including the NYC contest show! For more info on how you can join our efforts, please visit: http://www.oxfamamerica.org/concerts Thanks, Oxfam America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudonym Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 What exactly do they have you do for the volunteer work cuz I am all for helping out. Also, do you have to be 18, or is 16 old enough? What if Im with a parent/guardian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girl_in_the_band_tshirt Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 This is such a great thing :D Anyone have any real info on it though? i.e. age restriction/expectations of volunteers/etc. The site isn't overly helpful :/ M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellow745 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 exactly what does one person have to do when they volunteer?..oh, and do you have to be over 18 years old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxfam America Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Thanks for all the great questions! Because of local venue rules, we prefer that all volunteers are 18+. However, we'll try to accomodate 16+ if you are volunteering with a parent or guardian. Our volunteers at shows like Coldplay typically arrive about an hour before doors open, receive a brief training and update about Oxfam's current campaigns, and then circulate among fellow music fans as they enter the building to recruit new supporters to sign up for Oxfam's email lists, which allow folks to take actions from their computers. Volunteers will then get to watch the show, and as the final encore is played, the volunteers meet up again to recruit more people as the crowd leaves the show. It's actually a lot of fun, and a great way to meet other Coldplay fans and Oxfam supporters from your area, not to mention the amazing feeling most volunteers have after spending a little time helping others in need. Hope these details help. There are still spots available at many shows, and I'll try to post a list of cities not filled up yet here soon.

Texasluvsjonny Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I love Oxfam America and have been a member since signing up at a Coldplay show in 2003. :D Hi Oxfam person, are you Tim? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxfam America Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hey Coldplayers- Just a quick note to thank the dozen or so people who stopped by our table at Madison Square Garden to sign up with us and who mentioned they learned about us on Coldplaying.com! I also wanted to let you know that there are still volunteers needed for upcoming shows in San Jose, Las Vegas, Chicago, and most shows from August on. Apply here: http://www.oxfamamerica.org/concerts Our volunteers at Madison Square Garden were treated to AMAZING tickets, as we were placed by the band on the railing right next to the stage on Jonny's side during the show. Hope you can join us at a show near you! Thanks for your support, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girl_in_the_band_tshirt Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I just sent in my application (: This is the coolest thing - my two passions fused together. I really hope I'm chosen for San Jose *fingers crossed* Its the only way I'll get to see Coldplay live, but I'm just as excited about working for Oxfam. I live for this stuff :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
