Volunteers
Volunteers are an integral part of the Overnight community. Unlike Crew Members, they don't register for the event or spend the whole event night working. Instead, they contribute smaller periods of time both in the months leading up to and during the event itself.
We're now recruiting volunteers to help us in all aspects of the Overnight. Please sign up volunteer for the WASHINGTON, DC or NEW YORK areas.
On-Event Volunteer Opportunities in Washington, DC:
Examples of On-Event Opportunities
Participant Check In: Assist with checking in volunteers, Crew members, and Walkers. These Volunteers will work the check-in area and must be comfortable with tallying numbers quickly. Please note that Walker Check-in volunteers should be 18+ years old. Other tasks will include greeting participants as they arrive and directing them to the correct Check-in queues as well as helping participants complete donation forms.
Additional Event Support: Volunteers not in the check-in area may greet participants as they arrive, distribute fundraising rewards to participants, assist staff with 2014 registration, and more. Volunteers should be ready to jump in wherever needed.
Closing Ceremony Site Support: These volunteers will help prepare and organize the Closing Ceremony site before the Walkers cross the finish line. Volunteers should be prepared to be on their feet all morning! Moderate lifting is involved in this shift.
Breakfast: Assist with serving hot breakfast to participants as they come back off the route.
Join us as a volunteer at the 2013 Overnight Walk in Washington, DC and help make this important event an experience to remember for all of our participants.
