Registry of Operational Needs

What wants tending

The Office runs on noticing. This page is a living view of operational needs people have named — gaps, roles, work that's waiting for someone to walk alongside it.

See something missing? You can name a new need.

See these organized by the people who carry them on the community altar.

Looking for work rather than a way to give? See existing community job networks — the Office's own job-creation efforts are meant to complement these, not duplicate them.

Blessing

  • Travel support for Alana and Jiah to Shasta

    Completed · Seed

    Three supporters made travel in one car possible for Alana and Jiah, who are in Shasta as of September 13, 2026.

Support

  • Sign-up & orientation capture system

    Active · Growing

    Stand up the shared sign-up + orientation capture system Alana asked for on 2026-05-04: a single place that records who's signed up, what role they want to hold, whether they've completed the Earth Stewardship Program, whether they've done the orientation, and what they're consenting to. Once this exists, Alana can lead the orientations.

  • YouTube channel documenting the process

    Open · Seed
