***3/15/2022 Update: Great news! A small amount of volunteers will be allowed at several designated Ocean Count sites!
***Please read the below information prior to registering.
***Volunteers: Only a handful of volunteers, 5-10 being the max will be allowed at various sites but that is dependent on the following:
-
Site access permit allows general volunteers to join site leaders
-
Site is able to accommodate physical distancing
-
***Hosting volunteers is covid-19 dependent and could change if state/county rules change during event months. If this happens the coordinator will reach out to all registered volunteers to say general volunteer participation is canceled.
-
At this moment although these are outdoor events, we are recommending anyone participating in the 2022 events to wear a mask and physical distance as a safety precaution.
***Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate large volunteer groups so we will not be accepting volunteer group applications for 2022.
***Volunteer registration is very limited and the registration link will be live 3/16/2022 at 12 pm HST. Registration will close 3/23/2022 at noon HST.
