All three team volunteers will need to attend one of the mandatory volunteer sessions (approximately 30 min.) to recieve specific instructions, get driving directions, ask questions, and pick up their volunteer shirts.  All three volunteers do not need to attend together.

WHEN: Choice of Saturday 8/11, anytime between 9am-11:30am (11:00am for Exchange Leaders) --or-- Wednesday 8/15, anytime between 5:00pm-7:30pm (7:00pm for Exchange Leaders).

Plan on no more than an hour to check in, be trained, pick up your t-shirt, and sign off.

WHERE: Oregon Convention Center

777 NE Martin Luther King Blvd.

Portland, OR 97232

We highly recommend utilizing the MAX light rail or bus #6 which stops at the Convention Center!  Click here for a map of the building/area. (There will be Streetcar construction from Lloyd to Davis on NE MLK and NE Grand) so prepare ahead!!

WHY: To give updated information; ensure effective training and safety of each volunteer; to meet Course Coordinators and support personnel; to clarify volunteer assignments and get directions, to pick up Race Official shirt, AND to ensure the team is not disqualified.

WHO: ALL three (3) of your teams' volunteers must attend to prevent disqualification! This is important even if they've volunteered before.  Regulations and the race course do change!

WHAT IF: A volunteer absolutely isn't able to attend either session (due to vacation, illness, etc.)?  An alternate may go in their place, check in and take the training, (BUT be sure to pass along all training info, materials, and shirt)!  One person/Team Captain cannot go in place of two or three volunteers.

Volunteer jobs are selected via logging onto the roster (once a job request has been accepted within the system, the volunteer will be notified via email). Volunteers are assigned on a "first come first serve" basis.
