When is it time for a festival, your organization is assigned jobs or "spots" to fill. We use a on-line program call SIGNUP for Vol Groups to use to sign up.

The program will send you a confirmation email and a reminder email. When you come work your shift, you will sign in/out on your org's sign-in sheet.
After an event is over, the hours worked by your group are totaled and we make a donation to your organization, usually paying about $12 per hour.
Group leaders are responsible for passing along info & getting their members signed up by the deadline. They need to have general knowledge of what the jobs are for your group's assigned spots and ensuring that the folks signing up are able to perform the jobs they sign up for.
