    "Over the Edge" Rappelling Fundraiser "Ropes" Volunteers

    We’re seeking a small team of dedicated volunteers to serve as “Ropes Crew” for our exciting Over the Edge fundraising event in Manchester, NH!

    Over the Edge is a one-of-a-kind community fundraiser where approximately 120 participants rappel down a 24-story building at 1000 Elm Street, raising funds for our organization and more than 20 nonprofit partners. It’s a high-energy, highly visible event—and the ropes crew plays a critical role in making it happen safely and smoothly.

    Volunteer Role: Ropes Crew

    Ropes volunteers support the technical side of the rappelling experience by helping manage ropes and staging areas under the supervision of trained professionals.

    Responsibilities include:

    • Assisting with rope management on the roof or ground level
    • Supporting the safe and efficient flow of rappellers
    • Following direction from professional rope technicians and event staff
    • Staying attentive and engaged throughout the day in an active environment

    Schedule & Commitment

    • Monday, June 22: ~4-hour training shift (exact time TBD)
    • Tuesday, June 23: 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM (full-day commitment required)

    Bonus: Volunteers will have the opportunity to rappel themselves at the end of the June 22 training shift!

    Important Requirements

    • Must be able to commit to both days
    • Comfortable being on your feet for extended periods
    • Able to perform light to moderate physical activity
    • Comfortable working outdoors in the sun and at heights (if assigned to roof)
    • Reliable, attentive, and able to follow safety instructions closely

    Location

    1000 Elm Street

    Manchester, NH

    (24-story building)

    • Be part of a unique, adrenaline-filled community event
    • Support 20+ local nonprofits
    • Gain behind-the-scenes experience at a rappelling event
    • Earn bragging rights—and a chance to rappel yourself!
