As a volunteer, you will learn how Texas won its independence. You will also meet new people, feel good about giving back to your community, and, most importantly, have fun!
To ensure a seamless event, it is important to plan ahead and coordinate volunteer shifts and arrival times. Please note that arrival times may range from 30 minutes to an hour in advance, depending on the desired shift and role.
