How much does it cost?
Signing up allows us to contact you via email or RSS when events in your chosen interest are taking place in your area. You also need to be logged in to volunteer for an event, to allow coordinators to keep track of who is attending what event.
How much time do I need to commit?
You don't need to commit any time unless you want to. However if you do sign up for an event, we do ask that you attend and participate. Most events require about an hour of commitment. Signing up for one event per week is enough to make a real difference in your community!
What are the guidelines for events?
We ask that events be non political and non commercial. We also encourage you to offer a minimum contribution of one hour for all volunteers.
What information do I need when posting an event?
The "Add event" form will prompt you for the required information. Please provide specific information on when and where the event is taking place as well as what exactly is required of volunteers.
Of course. The sign up form for each event will indicate a list of current volunteers. You are welcome to sign up for events with people you know, or by yourself if you would like to make some new friends.
