The Social Butterfly schedule is built around an A/B rotation system. This system is meant to create a consistent guest experience while also giving volunteers a clear structure and regular time off. On any given day, one volunteer is the A volunteer and the other is the B volunteer. The A volunteer is responsible for the day’s social programming, while the B volunteer is off and has no daily Social Butterfly tasks for that day.

How the A/B system works

This rotation exists to support both:

• a reliable guest experience
• volunteer work-life balance

A-Day responsibilities

On an A day, the Social Butterfly is responsible for the full daily social flow.

Daily touchpoints

These daily touchpoints are the core of the A-day schedule.

B-Day responsibilities

On a B day, the volunteer is off from the Social Butterfly schedule.

That means:

• no daily social touchpoints
• no responsibility for the day’s programmed guest activities
• no expectation to cover the A volunteer unless a trade has been agreed in advance

Trading days

Volunteers are allowed to trade A and B days with each other.

For example:

• One volunteer may work two A days in a row
• In return, they may take two B days off in a row later

Trades can be arranged informally, including:

• WhatsApp
• in person
• any other clear agreement between the two volunteers

The important rule is this: if no trade has been clearly agreed, the original schedule still applies.

Operational expectations

The A/B schedule only works if both volunteers communicate well and stay aligned.

Volunteers are expected to:

• stay on the same page about who is A and who is B
• communicate clearly with each other
• make sure no guest touchpoint is missed
• begin following the schedule immediately after arrival and onboarding

Time commitment

These standards are part of the role framework, although exact event times may still shift based on occupancy or seasonality.

Important note

Specific schedules and event times may be adjusted by ONDA management depending on operational needs, seasonality, or occupancy. The A/B rotation remains the basic structure, but the exact rhythm of activities may change over time.

Summary

In simple terms:

• A day = on duty
• B day = off duty
• the A volunteer covers the daily social touchpoints
• the B volunteer has no daily Social Butterfly tasks
• trades are allowed, but if there is no agreed trade, the original schedule stays in place
