* fields are required

VERY IMPORTANT - please read before signing-up:

  1. All shifts are 5 hours long. For training and logistics, we need volunteers to show up on-time and stay for the entire shift. Sorry, no partial shifts are available.
  2. Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. Please do not bring minors with you when volunteering (sorry, no exceptions).
  3. Every year, 90% of volunteers sign-up for the Thursday evening race-kit pick-up shift. We only have so many volunteer positions during each shift. Please give us multiple days/times you are available. It doesn't mean you have to work multiple shifts (unless of course, you want to) - but it does give us more options to involve you on the pirate crew.
