Register Under One Account

Please do not use this process if you are able to create your own Volunteer Central account. 

This guide applies to the following scenarios:

  • We're a team of two or a family unit registering with a shared email address.
  • I'm direct support staff bringing individuals with disabilities to volunteer. 
  • I'm bringing a group of youth ages 8 - 17. 

Things to keep in mind:

  • All volunteers will need to have a signed waiver on file. If you reserve spots for an individual or group without account(s), each individual will need to sign a waiver on-site to volunteer.
  • Please see the Youth Volunteering page to learn how to register a group of minors. 
  • All direct support staff members must provide direct support or actively volunteer.
