Volunteer Nation: Four Events Needing Help This Weekend

It’s that time of the week again! Events are run on the power and goodwill of volunteers, and especially this year with no spectators to pull from on-site, it’s particularly essential to have volunteer sign-ups done ahead of time. Each Thursday, we provide a list of still-open volunteer positions at each event happening over the weekend. Get out and enjoy the warming weather and help out your local event this weekend!

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.
