Helper roles

With each of these roles, you might get asked questions that you don't know the answer to or might need to trouble shoot technical issues. If you need help, you can ask questions in the Helpers Telegram Group. Or you can send people directly to the Helper Desk in the virtual space (bottom left of the map).
