In order for the concept of workcamps to spread in the United States, it is important to awaken local interest and broaden the base of support. We encourage you to stimulate publicity about your workcamp in the local and regional press. Our experience has been that local media are more interested in a group of international volunteers in your community than they would be in a group of local volunteers. If you contact the media prior to your workcamp, the chances are better that they will find time to do a story or video on your workcamp. Once the workcamp begins, volunteers can be elected to pursue media contacts, arrange for interviews, visits, etc.
All workcamp hosts are responsible for the general safety of all volunteers during the program.
If tools and equipment will be used, adequate instruction must be given to the participants. Nobody should be allowed to drive a vehicle without being supervised first. Safety equipment such as gloves, hats and eye glasses must be provided depending upon the nature of the work.
