Important Information for Volunteers
The Reentry Conference & Expo is a large, fast-paced event. While we will consider your interests and experience, volunteer assignments cannot always be made in advance and may change throughout the day as needs arise.
Our greatest need is during the early morning setup and opening hours. Many of the most important tasks take place before attendees arrive. Volunteers who are available early in the morning provide invaluable support and help ensure the conference begins smoothly.
Volunteers are welcome to join later in the day, particularly for hospitality, photography, communications, resource support, and cleanup. However, once the conference is underway, staff and volunteer leaders are often focused on serving attendees and managing event operations. Because of this, there may be limited time to provide orientation or assign new responsibilities to volunteers arriving later in the morning.
We are especially grateful for volunteers who:
