FAQs
While it is not logistically possible to Walk and Volunteer, you do have the option to Volunteer and register as a Virtual Walker and fundraise. Click below to Register as a Volunteer, then click HERE to register as a Virtual Walker and start fundraising!
Unfortunately, we do not have any sit-down volunteer roles. However, we encourage you to take a break on a park bench whenever you need one!
Ideally, volunteers are available for the entire shift, as it will enable us to provide a better experience for all participants. If you need to do a shorter shift, we may be able to accommodate a volunteer who must leave early, but we would require that all volunteers start the shift at the time indicated on the list of options. Note that some roles are not flexible and would require a commitment to the entire shift.
The Group Coordinator should complete the Volunteer Registration form. The individual volunteers within the group do not need to complete the Volunteer Registration form.
