Please complete this form to apply for an in-person volunteer position at the 2026 TWS-WS Annual Meeting to be held February 2-6, 2026 in Monterey, CA.
Before December 5th:
The first round of applications are due by December 5th, and up to 25 students will be chosen for the program based on their overall schedule availability, and responses to application questions. We will aim to choose volunteers from throughout the Western Section geographic region so that all areas are represented – California, Nevada, Hawaii and Pacific Islands. We will also aim to have all current student chapters represented -- CalPoly Humboldt, Univ. Nevada Reno, UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara, CalPoly SLO, along with those who do not have a school student chapter.
We will confirm acceptance into the volunteer program by December 8, 2025, and all volunteers will need to register and pay for the meeting by December 12th to confirm their position. Those not offered a volunteer position will be added to a waitlist in case additional positions become available. While not guaranteed, additional positions almost always become available.
After December 5th:
We will continue to add students to the waitlist on a first-come, first-served basis after the initial deadline of December 5th, 2025. We encourage students to still apply if they are interested in the volunteer program as while not guaranteed, additional positions almost always become available.
Program Notes:
As soon as the conference concludes, registration fee and hotel stipend reimbursements will be mailed or paid electronically to those who have fully completed their scheduled shifts. Please note that hotel reimbursements will only be given for the Monterey Hyatt.
Scheduling will be done after volunteers are confirmed for the program and further instructions will be given via email.
If you have any questions, please reach out to students@tws-west.org and/or support@tws-west.org.
