Volunteers

Thank you to all who volunteer for ESfS!

Do you enjoy working with young members of the community? ESfS needs geoscience volunteers March 16-19, 2024 for the following tasks during the event:

• • Assemble packages for students attending the event
  • Assist with exhibit set up
  • Assist members of the public that are attending the exhibition
  • Guide youth groups through the exhibits
  • Guide grade school groups through the exhibits
  • Provide assistance at specific exhibits that require additional volunteers (e.g., Yukon Dan gold panning, fossil station, giant floor map)
  • Staff the information booth and provide volunteer backup

A majority of the volunteers will be needed for Monday March 18 and Tuesday March 19, 2024, as these are the days that visiting students and their teachers need to be guided around the exhibits. Please consider volunteering for this option. A typical shift consists of four hours on-site, but of course multiple shifts would be appreciated if you have time available.

Volunteers should be 18 years of age or older unless accompanied by an adult.

Volunteer registration is now open!

ESfS uses volunteer management software called Bloomerang (previously named InitLive). You will be able to select your role(s) and shift(s) to create a personalized schedule.

If you are uncertain of your schedule at the moment but wish to select your own shifts/schedule, you can log in to Bloomerang at any time in the future and select/change your chosen roles and shifts. However, if you wait too long to create your schedule, your preferred role(s)/shift(s) may be full.
