What is the job site leader?

• This person has to do the training video, be at check-in, and the tool line on the day-of
  • If you get the email, do the training!

Do I have to go to the kickoff ceremony?

How long is it?

• Volunteers will arrive at the houses from 10:00 to 10:30 and will stay for 4 hours

Can I switch groups or be placed with my friends?

• No, groups are assigned based on the needs of each job site, so we are unable to move volunteers between groups. Swaps may only be possible under specific circumstances, such as coordinating rides. 

Why are some groups bigger or smaller than others?

• Group sizes vary based on the number of volunteers requested by each resident/job site, so uneven group sizes are expected.

Can I still sign up / add someone after the deadline?

• Yes, we can still manually add volunteers. Please provide your UIN to [email protected], and you will have to sign an electronic waive

How do I pick up/drop off tools?

• You may pick up all your tools after kickoff ends at 9:40pm. Everyone will head over to lot 97 to pick up tools on-foot. Your check-in card will tell you the tools you need and what tool line you will pick up in. You may not drive to pick up tools, but you can park in lot 100 and walk your tools over to your car after you pick them up.
• After you are finished serving, tool drop-off will occur in lots 97 and 74. You must drive your tools back, we will not accept them on foot. We recommend you enter lot 97 through Raymond Stotzer Parkway to Olsen Blvd.
