Summer Games | Logistics & Special Events Volunteer

Logistics are critical to any large-scale event. We are in need of organized and personable volunteers run to check-in tables. Event setup & clean up is needed throughout the weekend as sports and special events commence and wrap up. Looking for even more hands on? Join our on-site crew to assist with jobs across campus during the weekend.

But, Special Events are what keep everyone involved in between competitions and are integral pieces of the Summer Games weekend. Assist in the largest medical screening operation inside the Robins Center, and more!

Please note that for Special Smiles and Opening Eyes volunteers must be 18 years of age. For all other opportunities, we request that volunteers be age 14 or older!
