Volunteer Requirements
To register to volunteer at a Holt-sponsored event, you must:
- Be at least 16 years old
- Have a valid email address
- Accept the terms of Holt’s Volunteer Work Agreement
Required training after registration includes:
- Understanding PCI compliance/credit card handling procedures
- How to Sign up a Child Sponsor video
- On-site orientation at the venue
Exceptions
- Adoptive Parent Volunteers With Children Under 16: We are seeking the support of adoptive families to work tables at the events this year! Holt allows each adoptive parent volunteer to bring up to two of their own minor children as guests to accompany. Children under 16 are not permitted to manage the payment information on our sign-up forms so we ask for your help with this compliance. When registering, there is a place on the form to indicate that you would like to bring your children when you volunteer.
- Paid Access Through the Volunteer Entrance for Non-Volunteers: Some volunteer groups bring members of their party who are not eligible to volunteer (i.e. underage). You can request venue access for your underage group members by contacting the volunteer coordinator directly for approval. All non-volunteers are required to pay the event ticket fee in cash at the volunteer door to the Holt on-site tour representative. Please confirm the cost with the Volunteer Coordinator prior to arrival.
Register a Group of Volunteers
A registered volunteer may add additional “guest volunteers” as part of a group during registration. These volunteers must also adhere to the above volunteer requirements.
- Please do not add guests who have already registered themselves.
- Due to security at the venues, volunteers must provide first and last names of EVERY guest coming through the volunteer entrance when registering. This includes guest volunteers, paid ticket holders accompanying volunteers and adoptee minors entering for free.
- You may bring as many committed guest volunteers as we have space for! You are now able to edit the number of guests in your registration through our volunteer online community.
