Volunteer Nation: 3 Events That Need Helpers This Weekend

Another perk of volunteering? Photo ops like this. Photo via Kristina M. on Facebook.

There are three recognized events happening all around Eventing Nation this weekend, and although we face some uncertain times with the effects of the coronavirus COVID-19 felt all over the world, we will continue to provide updates on the events that are running.

If you’ve been considering volunteering but are nervous about doing a task for the first time, that’s OK! The USEA has put together a helpful guide that collects training video links into one place for all potential volunteers. This information can come in handy as you gear up for your shift. And don’t worry about trying something new! That’s one of the best parts about volunteering — the opportunities are endless.
