Special Event Volunteer

OVERVIEW
Each year SBU seeks volunteers for single events. Volunteer service is generally sought only for the duration of the event itself. Volunteer roles depend on the event. For a fundraising event like the Annual Benefit, this could include checkin and checkout, food service, bar service, design setup, and auction management. For a soccer tournament like the City Showcase Tournament or Charity Cup, volunteer roles may include, field setup/cleanup, field marshals, information table, referees, and more.
