Greeters are friendly Wiki Genealogists who welcome new members to our community.
As Wiki Genealogists, Greeters have the power to upgrade Guest Member accounts into full accounts at any time. This is generally done when a guest volunteers.

Responsibilities
The central responsibility of a Greeter is to monitor the Guest Activity Feed.
Greeters should check the feed as often as possible. It's important that all sincere volunteers be confirmed by a Greeter ASAP.
If a new member reaches out to a Greeter, it's important that they reply in a timely manner.
See Welcoming New Members for full instructions and tips.

If you're a friendly Wiki Genealogist we would love to have your help. The only strict requirements to be a Greeter:
- You've signed the Honor Code.
- You joined WikiTree more than one month ago.
- You have time to check in on the Guest Activity Feed at least once every few days.
