Volunteering is a great way to contribute to the success of the conference. Volunteering ensures that attendees have a great experience at the conference and is a way to network with others in the disability rights field. If you’re interested in volunteering, review the different roles available and make sure you can do it independently, for the entire shift. We invite volunteers to enjoy a few workshops before or after their shift.

Volunteers will not be allowed to enjoy the catered meals in the dining room (this is the largest cost of the conference) and the dance on Friday night. There will be light food and snacks available in the volunteer break room, but this is no replacement for a meal. Mystic Lake’s policy is that you cannot have outside food or beverage in any event space, unfortunately this means you cannot bring a lunch either.

Here are the volunteer shifts during the conference: Friday morning (7:30am-11:30am), Friday Afternoon (1pm-5pm) and Saturday (8am-12pm), one for setup on Thursday night (7pm-9pm) and one for cleanup Saturday afternoon (11am-3pm).
