Coordinate the Freestylers: plan Freestyler schedules, ensure participants’ safety at the event, take care of volunteers’ night shifts and oversee the operational aspect of the seminar in general.
Work together with the Head of Logistics while communicating with the Cafeteria and other staff of the YES site.
Take care of shopping needs throughout the seminar (additional snacks or drinks, medicine, equipment, etc. - there usually are things we run out of and need to get as soon as possible).
