Volunteer Information

General Volunteer Information for all volunteers:

• All attendees, including volunteers and presenters, will be responsible for paying a registration fee. This will be used to cover food, portable toilets, and rental fees (no more than $30 for volunteers) 

• This is a camping event! Please be prepared to camp in a tent or RV (which you must provide for yourself). It will likely be very cold. If you need help with provisions, let us know. We can help.

• If you're not actively involved in a job duty or preparing for a workshop, please attend a workshop. Participation is a key to the success of this conference.

• Understand that while you may not be a student's direct teacher, you will still be influential over their mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Please be sure you understand some concepts of physical, emotional, and spiritual guardianship. 

• Please complete the required Volunteer Training by January 15th. 

• This is a sober event - for everybody! There is no alcohol or illicit drug use tolerated - not even for altar offerings. Legal prescription medications and legal tobacco use are fine. 

Information for Workshop Presenters:

• ​If you're selected to present, you'll be notified by January 1st. 

• Please be prepared with a handout of some variety. At the very least, a list of books or other resources the students can use for follow-through. We will make this available on the web before the conference so students can be prepared.

• Watch your email for important updates and deadlines - this is generally how we'll communicate. 

• General Expectations for Presenters:

  • Be prepared for your presentation!

    • Practice it!

    • You'll have 50 minutes, total, for the whole workshop unless otherwise designated, and 10 minutes between each session.

  • Read materials here for pointers, especially if you are not a veteran workshop presenter (or even if you are)

  • If you're not presenting or preparing for a workshop, please attend other workshops.
