• Are you a volunteer between the ages of 11-13? Please have a parent or guardian apply for the Event Volunteer Group Lead role prior to registering for a shift.  How to Register a Group.

   

• 2 or more persons in your “group”?  If you share an email, you’ll need to Register a Group.  If you’re a small group (less than 10) with separate emails, feel free to register separately.  Otherwise, designate a Group Lead and follow the instructions to Register a Group.

   

• Do you have a large group (10+ persons)?  Feel free to reach out to volunteer@sowa.org to help find the perfect fit for your group.  Larger groups also have a few other options in how they register.

   

• Have you been given a “pre-assigned role” by a staff member or part of a group that's been given a specific shift?  Enter the code that was given to you in the Keyword field and they will appear.  If you don't have a code, please reach out to your group lead or email volunteer@sowa.org.
