Every year, dozens of wonderful, servant-hearted attendees willingly sacrifice part of their time at the conference. Why? Because they understand that without their help, it would be impossible to have a convention the average home school family could afford to attend.

There are several opportunities for adults and young adults 15 and older who are attending with a parent. Sign up online for the job and shift you want. You will receive a coupon for one two CDs for every shift you work. Most shifts are two and one half hours to three hours long. You must be registered for the conference to volunteer.

As a thank you for helping the OCEANetwork Conference run smoothly, volunteers will be in the first group to be allowed to shop the Used Curriculum Exchange on Saturday.

Volunteer positions available at the conference:

Greeters: We are looking for friendly, smiling folks who like to make families feel welcome at the conference. Greeters will be stationed outside the Exhibit Hall or Keynote room doors to welcome families, verify that all attendees are wearing name badges or bracelet signifying their registration, and answer "where is?" questions.

Recordings: Work within the recording booth making copies of sessions for sale. May serve as sales persons. Training will be provided.

Runners (a good job for teens): Throughout the convention we have need of people to run errands and fill in with assistance as needed. This job is perfect for teens 16 and older.

Used Curriculum Exchange: Huge numbers of books need to be sorted at the Used Curriculum Exchange.
