Packapalooza™

Volunteer

The form below is to be used by volunteers to sign-up for Packapalooza™ on Saturday, August 24, 2024, 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 have the ability to indicate your availability. Keep in mind that it will take hundreds of people to help us execute this event.

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