Parking volunteers are the event's first greeters! We provide bright vests for the shift (please return the vest once your shift is over). Volunteers greet cars on the drive in, hand out our event information, and tally the number of visitors in each car (using our ticket counter). They also keep track of the amount of parking available in the lot (parking volunteers will have radios to make communication easier). They let cars know if they need to park in the overflow lot, and direct them to our excess parking area.
This shift is quieter towards the end of the event. Shifts starting around 11 AM typically won't be as busy, but we still need a volunteer to help out--counting visitors is extremely helpful for us! Meet in the Elkhart Environmental Center's Visitor's Cabin to receive the vest, ticket counter, and handouts.
This shift includes an optional 9:30 AM volunteer orientation in the Visitor's Cabin. Please check in at the Environmental Center Visitor's Cabin.
