Community Service
As an international member of Samfunnet you have to participate in one or two community services per semester. This means you will work at one of Samfunnet’s events in good spirit and become an active part of the house’s operations for this evening. The events at Samfunnet would not take place without the help and effort from our members. At community service you will be working for others that are out enjoying Samfunnet, while they will be working the next time you are out partying at Samfunnet.
A typical community service normally looks like this:
19:30: You meet in the bodega where you will be served dinner. Here you will also be given information about the events this evening and tasks will be handed out.
20:30: You will be followed to your working station for the evening, and necessary instructions will be given.
21:00: The doors open and the guests arrive. During the community service you are served fruits and coffee. At any time you will have experienced people to ask if you have any questions.
01:30/02:30: The guests leave the house and you help in cleaning up. At the end you are served pizza before you go home. Hopefully with some new friends and a good feeling of contributing to the common good.
You can self choose what tasks you want to do on community service. This can be entrance service, wardrobe service, stage security, bar or making sure the other people working this evening are supplied with coffee and fruits.
