Packapalooza™

Volunteer

The form below is to be used by volunteers to sign-up for Packapalooza™ on Saturday, August 23, 2025, from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Please be advised: all volunteers are expected to be flexible with their schedules during the event. As a volunteer, you can indicate your availability. Please note that it will require hundreds of people to help us execute this event.

We are also seeking Super Volunteers to manage groups of eight to ten people, assisting with the setup and kick-off of the event. You will meet with the planning committee before the event for training and to become familiar with the event’s footprint. We are seeking individuals who are early risers with strong leadership skills and a commitment to the entire time frame, from 5:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. You will be provided with a t-shirt, a light breakfast, lunch, and access to the VIP area for the headliner’s performance.
