Home Volunteers will help with crowd control and basic instructions (remove your shoes, stay off the lawn, etc.) but not serve in an educational capacity.

Info Fair Volunteers

One shift from 10:00am – 2:00pm.

Info Fair volunteers will assist with tickets, directing people to areas, crowd control, alcohol monitoring, etc… The Info Fair site is Green Depot, 819 SE Taylor Street, Portland, OR 97214.
