Volunteer Opportunities 🤝

Volunteer Sign Up Form

Use this sign up form to add your name to our list of volunteers available to help our community.

Getting started takes two steps.

  1. Fill in the volunteer form

    Do this once. Tell us about yourself, your availability and the skills you bring. A coordinator reviews it and emails you when you are approved.

Questions

Do I fill in the volunteer form every time?

No. Fill it in once. After a coordinator approves it, you only sign up for the events, dates and roles you want.

I am under 18. Can I volunteer?

Yes. Some roles have a minimum age, and those ask for your date of birth when you sign up.

How do I see what I signed up for?

Use Volunteer sign-in. We email you a sign-in link, or you can use a 6-digit code instead. There is no password to remember.

How are my hours recorded?

Your hours are recorded when you check in. If you missed check-in, you can log the hours yourself from your volunteer portal.
