Gala volunteers are needed to help with Global Camps Africa's annual event One Night for Sizanani, taking place at the Ronald Reagan Building on April 27th. Volunteers will help us finish setting up auction items and decor and will then get trained on their positions for the rest of the evening. Volunteers will help with registration, raffle sales, auction monitoring and checkout. Volunteers will have a chance to eat during the event.
Volunteers can work 3-8, (which is set-up/decorating for the first 2 hours and helping with the event the last 2hrs) or 4-10, or the entire shift. Please specify which shift you'd like to work in your reply.
