Welcome ETGC Members
How to Get Make the Most out of Your Membership
Volunteering
Whether you need Vounteer time for Membership or you Just want to help, ETGC NEED VOLUNTEERS
How to get your volunteer time
-
Members MUST register to attend the event; then, to help you, you MUST register for the corresponding Volunteer Event the same way.
-
You will be “waitlisted” while ETGC's Volunteer Coordinator sorts out which volunteers need volunteer time and how many are needed.
-
Approved Volunteers for the Event will be notified.
Volunteers are sorted by the amount of volunteer time they have completed, how much they need, and the order in which they registered.
If you have completed your required time or your membership does not require volunteer time. You can still register; if there is room, you can help.
Other Methods of Volunteering:
