We are seeking volunteers to be part of our production team at our SLAM PROGRAM, which serves Chicago's youth through Life-on-Life mentorship. Our program is on Monday nights from 5:00pm to 9:30 pm and runs from September thru May. We prefer individuals with experience relevant to:
Running a soundboard (either analog or digital) and EQ'ing mics for it
Connecting, testing, and daisy-chaining speakers
Setting up speaker stands
Working a projector and screen
Laying and winding cable
Working with microsoft powerpoint
We are seeking such individuals to be part of production at our SLAM program.
SLAM is a high energy sports and team building outreach program that runs in three strategic neighborhoods in Chicago. SLAM is a launching pad for mentors and students to meet, engage in games and discussions, and work to build deep Life-on-Life relationships outside the walls of SLAM.
As you will see in the accompanying video, our SLAM program is a big undertaking: Lights, Camera, and Action!!!
Of course, the goal is mentorship, but production is the backbone. As part of production, you will help set up, run, and teardown different production areas during our SLAM program on monday nights.
Our goal is to help create a fun, immersive, glitch free enviroment so students and mentors can come, have fun, connect, and be inspired.

About GRIP Outreach For Youth
Location:
2045 West Grand Avenue, #202, Chicago, IL 60612, US
Mission Statement
To reach at-risk youth, connect them with life-on-life Christian adult mentors, and develop them holistically in Jesus Christ to the glory of God.
Description
GRIP Outreach for Youth is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization created to address the growing epidemic of "fatherlessness" and its consequences on youth in the inner-city. Statistically, fatherless teens show an increased risk for gang activity, violence, drug and alcohol dependence, sexual abuse, high school dropout, teen pregnancy, etc. GRIP leverages sports, hip-hop music, and media arts programs to connect Christian mentors with fatherless youth to mentor them and empower them to positively contribute to society, their communities, their churches and their families.
