Depot Event Corps
The Depot Event Corps (DEC) focuses primarily on the implementing of Depot programming events such as concerts, tournaments, social events, etc. DECs are an integral part of Depot programming success and gives volunteers of many ages an opportunity to gain skills, work with youth, and have fun. Unlike the Board of Directors, there is no monthly quota for volunteering, nor is there a requirement to attend Sunday meetings. There are a number of DEC shifts every week, particularly for taking cover charges on Friday nights and assisting with general operation and supervision.
