Signing up to volunteer some of your time has never been simpler thanks to EventingVolunteers.com. For those of you competing on the weekends, it can definitely be hard to find blocks of time to donate. But it never hurts to stop by the show office and find out what you can do to help — maybe there is help needed at the end of the day tearing down the show jump course. There is usually always help needed, so even if you only have an hour to spare put it to good use! And remember: since most events are spectator-less right now, the existing pool of on-site volunteers shrinks. Many thanks to our hard working volunteers as they get organized for another weekend of eventing!
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.
