We will be tracking volunteer hours this year using raffle tickets. You will receive a ticket for each hour you volunteer. The Volunteer Point will have Prizes displayed for you to enter raffles for. This system will help us understand after the Event how many and where volunteers were needed. If you’re not sure where or when you’d like to volunteer, please just shoot a message to your event stewards. There will also be opportunities to sign up at the event. Please stop by Volunteer Point to view the options and sign up. It’s a great way to get to know people and learn more about what is going on.
