Frequently Asked Questions
What if I can't make it to the volunteer meeting?
If you cannot make it to the meeting, check in at the Main Gate Friday from 3-8pm or Saturday from 9am-7pm to pick up your ticket and t-shirt. If your volunteer shift falls outside of those hours, your area lead will have your t-shirt and your ticket.
Where can I pick up my t-shirt and/or ticket?
Your t-shirt can be picked up on Thursday at the volunteer meeting or at the Main Gate on Friday from 3pm-8pm or Saturday from 9am-7pm. If your volunteer shift falls outside of those hours, your area lead will have your t-shirt and your ticket.
If I'm not volunteering until Saturday, can I pick up my ticket early and use it on Friday?
Yes, your ticket is good for both days regardless of when your shift is. Just check in at the Main Gate on Friday from 3pm-8pm or Saturday from 9am-7pm to pick up your ticket and t-shirt.
Is camping available at a discount for volunteers?
There are no discounts available for camping.
Will there be water available to volunteers?
Yes. During your shift, your area lead will have bottles of water available for you.
How old do you need to be to volunteer?
Each area is different. We ask that all volunteers be 16 or older in most areas. Some areas have requirements of 18 and older (those areas/tickets have the requirements in their ticket description). We do make some exceptions in areas where we can, but the area lead must approve those exceptions.
What if I want to volunteer with my friend? Can we sign up together?
Absolutely! Volunteering is always more fun with a friend! Just sign up for the same area/time and put a note in the comments that you would like to work with your friend. All area leads work hard to ensure you can work together.
What if I can no longer volunteer?
We know that life happens and things come up. If you are no longer able to volunteer, we ask that you cancel your ticket or email volunteers@riseministries.com as soon as you know you have a conflict. This will open up your volunteer spot for someone else to fill.
If you have any additional questions, please email volunteers@riseministries.com.
