Volunteers Wanted
Help make the Sustainable Living Expo an enriching experience for everyone – become a Volunteer! There are lots of opportunities for helping out at the Expo, from setting up Friday night, greeting people at the front table, assisting exhibitors, monitoring workshops, directing traffic, and supervising little ones in the children’s playroom.
We have scheduled 36 workshops in 6 workshop rooms, as well as some outdoor workshops and off-site tours. We are committed to providing both our workshop presenters and our Expo participants with the highest quality of organization and professionalism. And we cannot do it without YOU!
There are lots of benefits to being a Volunteer, too. You can get first hand experience at event planning, see immediate results for your efforts, meet new people, have fun, and get a free Expo t-shirt! Register here to be an Expo Volunteer!
