Artisans Allies

Deskies

Front Desk Volunteers (Deskies) at Artisans Asylum staff our front desk during our “open to the public” hours.

Deskies are a representative of A2 and are often the first point of contact that guests have with our organization. So, whether greeting someone who walks through the front door, taking a phone call or responding to an email, you are both a community liaison and a brand ambassador. First impressions are important, and Deskies are a big part of that experience. How people experience A2 often determines whether and how they elect to join us. That same welcoming, thoughtful and respectful experience will drive our community growth and sustainability. We expect all Deskies to embrace this responsibility wholeheartedly!

Tool Testers

Tool Testers are safety officers, guides, and ambassadors for their respective shop. Tool Testers are in place to primarily assess a Member or Day Pass User’s ability to use a tool safely and for its intended purpose.
