Heart of the West Volunteering
We’re on the lookout for a crew of enthusiastic and dependable volunteers to help bring this event to life. There are plenty of ways to get involved, with shifts available from Thursday, August 21st through Sunday, August 24th. Whether you have a few hours or a full day to spare, we have a spot for you!
A few things to know if you're thinking about volunteering:
You must be 14 years or older
You’re welcome to sign up for multiple shifts and/or different days—whatever works best for you
Final shift confirmations will go out during the last week of July, so please be sure to check your inbox
- And a little perk for our helpers—if you're volunteering on Thursday or Friday, we’ve got lunch covered! And if you're with us on event day (Saturday, August 23rd), you'll enjoy a complimentary lunch and dinner with us as a big thank-you for all your hard work.
It takes a village to pull off an event like this and we know we truly couldn’t do this without the time, talent, and heart of our amazing volunteers—like you.
