Our onboarding process is simple and supportive. New volunteers first attend a Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday onboarding session where we help you get fully set up on our platforms using our onboarding template. After that, you’ll join a Wednesday orientation with your team lead to review roles, expectations, and event flow. Once both steps are complete, you’ll be ready to contribute as a remote teammate.
