A Few FAQs

  1. Where do I shuttle park?
  2. What time is my shift? Please call 832.393.0955 for confirmation.
  3. Do you have seated volunteer positions? This event is spread over Halls A & B at the GRB and covers a lot of space.  There are very few seated assignments. We recommend wearing very comfortable shoes.
  4. Can I bring my 10 year old child? While we appreciate teaching volunteerism at an early age, this event is fast paced and more suitable for children 15 and up.
  5. Can I attend the event and volunteer? Yes, you are welcome to attend the event before or after your shift. Please make sure to register at: www.houstontx.gov/btsf/registermystudent.html.
  6. Our group wants to be assigned together, is that possible? Not always, we have a lot of ground to cover with this event, but we do try our best.
