Being a volunteer comes with specific responsibilities and requirements designed to keep everyone physically and spiritually safe and create the most immersive and enjoyable experience possible for all involved. Please carefully review the information below.
Please note: "Main event" refers to any of the three days of the main flagship events in August.
- All volunteers are expected to exemplify the Hero's Creed in their assignments, which is to (1) Stay at your post, (2) See a need, fill a need, (3) Perform with exactness, (4) Return and report, and (5) Be gracious. In summary, you will be expected to joyfully and diligently fulfill your assigned responsibilities and stay in your designated areas. Volunteers are expected not to follow their child(ren) around the main event venue, unless that is part of an assignment; arrive on time to training events and the main event; and be fully prepared to fulfill assignments in a timely manner.
- All volunteers at the main event must complete all training requirements before the event, including youth protection training. You will not be permitted to enter the event venue if you have not completed all training before the event. Please visit the Calendar page for training dates.
- All volunteers at the main event must wear a costume. Volunteers must provide their own costumes. Volunteers in certain roles may be provided with designated costume pieces such as tabards, sashes, or an overdress; costumes must still be worn underneath the pieces provided, if applicable. Costumes can be simple and made from items you already have in your home. See the Costume Descriptions page of our website for guidelines and suggestions.
- Children under age 8, including infants, are not allowed at the event, except for some extenuating circumstances. If you have children in this age range and would like to volunteer at the event, please make arrangements for them to be cared for outside of the event venue. If this is not an option for you, please consider volunteering remotely. There are several remote positions that we need help with each year.
- If your child(ren) between ages 8-12 are participating in the event and you also plan to volunteer at the event, please make arrangements for your child to be picked up as soon as the event is over. You need to be able to continue to focus on your volunteer role, and the adult volunteers with stewardship over your child also need to be able to complete their assignments and go home in a timely manner.
- Notes about the volunteer policy: (a) We ask that each family provide one volunteer. You do not need to provide an additional volunteer for every additional participant in your family, but we do encourage your whole family to join in the fun! (b) Volunteering as a villain absolutely counts towards your volunteer contribution. We always need more villains! (c) If no one in your family is available to volunteer, please invite your extended family or friends. We hope you invite them to join in the fun either way! (d) Finally, we absolutely understand if volunteering is just not an option for your family this year. If this is the case, please contact the volunteer committee and we will be more than happy to accommodate your needs: 801-842-3846 (text) or volunteers@heroicyouth.org.
