VOLUNTEERS

VOLUNTEER INFORMATION

Each year, Corporate Challenge counts on over 1800 volunteers to help make the Games happen!  We simply couldn't run the games without the assistance of the company volunteers!

Whether it is scorekeeping at Volleyball, registering participants at Badminton or keeping score at Board Games- each and every volunteer shift is vital to the success of the Games.

As part of your company's commitment to Corporate Challenge, your company is required to provide volunteers…PLUS it’s a great way to get more of your company participating in the Games!

VOLUNTEER ASSIGNMENTS 
In 2022, we introduced a system where companies could choose their own volunteer shifts.   You will need to log into our sign up system and choose from all the shifts available. The sign up link will be sent directly to Company Coordinators. They can then go in and pick all their company's shifts or can send the link to individuals within their company to pick the shift they want.  
We will still have a requirement for each company to fulfill a minimum number of shifts.  You will be responsible for making sure you sign up for the number (listed below) based on your division.  

HOW TO SIGN UP FOR YOUR VOLUNTEER SHIFTS CLICK HERE

VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENT
This is the MAXIMUM number of volunteers that will be required by companies in each of the three divisions.  These numbers are subject to change.

Blue – 6
Yellow – 8
Red - 12

Please note that we don't always require the maximum number of shifts to all companies.  

VOLUNTEERS

  • MUST be at least 18 years of age

VOLUNTEER FULFILLMENT POINTS
