There are some pretty big events with some pretty hefty entry lists happening this weekend, so you know what that means: all hands on deck! The bigger the event, the more volunteers each event needs and many hands make light work. If you want to get out and experience some eventing this weekend, consider donating your time to one of the events below.
We’ve compiled some resources on volunteering with COVID-19 regulations in mind. We’ll reference this list each week in Volunteer Nation, so take a few moments to familiarize yourself with what’s new and different.

As always, you can earn merit points when you donate your time through the USEA’s Volunteer Incentive Program. Registering to volunteer through EventingVolunteers.com makes it easy and seamless to both find a job and shift as well as learn what your role will entail.
