Finding Your Own Replacement
When you sign up for a date, you are considered available.
If you’re plans change after you sign up, you will now be expected to find your own replacement.
The process is simple:
Step 1- Contact another volunteer and ask if they can swap or cover your shift. Sending a group email is a faster way to find a replacement.
Step 2- Let the volunteer coordinator know the event name, the date and who is covering your shift.
Step 3- The Volunteer Coordinator will confirm the change within a couple of days.
How to send a group email:
1. Send a message to: [email protected]
*If you are looking for a replacement for a concession shift, you can use: [email protected]
2. Type out your request, indicating what shift(s) you need off, including start and end time
3. Send the email
4. Once you get a replacement, please confirm with Mariana: [email protected] & [email protected]
5. To avoid confusion, please respond to anyone who offered to take your shift and let them know you have it covered
