# Volunteering

Got some spare time? Passionate about tools and tinkering? Then join us!

## What are we looking for?

Frankly, we can use **all the help we can get**! Whatever your professional background and other competences, there's always something that could be put to good use at Tournevie. 

We have a few **different crews**. To give you an idea which one you can join, here's a short description with some basic prerequisites:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Tool Librarians" %}
They assist members during opening hours, and are thus the **operating backbone** of Tournevie. Librarians register incoming and outbound tools, have a chat with members and keep it all going.

**Prerequisites**: a tendency to smile a lot to members and strangers alike. Because Brussels is a true melting pot, speaking multiple languages is a big plus.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Tool Ninjas" %}
These are our very own **tool experts**. They usually have the DIY trait burned into the core of their DNA. Ninjas keep our tools in perfect condition, and purchase new tools and consumables. 

**Prerequisites**: a tendency to want to open up and repair electrical appliances. Having a pair of agile hands and some technical background are quite naturally a big plus. 
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Tool Ambassadors" %}
They the diplomats, the verbose phrasemongers and the social media whizzkids. They take care of our **communication**, and liaise with citizens and partners to spread the DIY virus. 

**Prerequisites**: a tendency to build a network wherever they go. Having writing, translating and verbal skills come in handy. 
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Tool Comptrollers" %}
They count the cash and keep our **finances** in good shape. Comptrollers keep us informed of how we can spend our money, and how many tool requests we can honor. 

**Prerequisites**: a tendency to be precise and responsible with other people's money. Some experience with bookkeeping and similar skills are pretty useful here. 
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## How to join?

Feel free to drop by during opening hours at any of our workshops. Otherwise, **contact <olivier@tournevie.be>** and let us know how you want to help out.&#x20;

In particular if you feel motivated to help out during opening hours as a tool librarian, it's good to **mention how often and/or on which days** you can join us.&#x20;
