Orcasound is a group of people volunteering their time to work on projects. As a volunteer it is important for you to know:

• Re: Orcasound organization

Orcasound is not an official registered organization with the U.S. Government, therefore do not have a formal structure, 

so accordingly we do not have:

- an address

- a primary point of contact

- volunteers do not have a supervisor

• Re: working hours

There are no required working hours, you can work as much or as little as you want. 

- Orcasound does not monitor or verify working hours.

- All work is done remotely on your own equipment.

• Re: Job descriptions

Job descriptions posted on DemocracyLab/Orcasound website(s) are general. 

Tasks are decided on and agreed to with the project team members.

• Re: volunteering for Orcasound in order to fill Visa requirements:

Unfortunately, Orcasound is not able to provide any documentation to fulfill Visa requirements, therefore we do not provide offer letters.

• Orcasound does provide a template letter that you can fill out to prove you are a volunteer with Orcasound.
  Contact the UX-Onboarding Team via the #ux-onboarding channel in Slack to request the template letter.

The template below can be used to prove volunteering with Orcasound. Download a copy for yourself.
