Become a Volunteer
Thank you for your interest in volunteering! Our volunteers are the heartbeat of the Mayor's Back to School Fair, and we truly appreciate your willingness to contribute your time and energy. Your involvement makes a real difference in building a stronger, more connected community.
This year, the Mayor's Back to School Fair is using the Volgistics platform for volunteer management. If you would like to volunteer, please fill out the volunteer application form here.
Once you complete the form, you can create an account at http://www.volgistics.com using the same email you listed on the form to track the status of your volunteer application, receive important reminders and updates, and make changes to your application, if needed. You can also download the "Vicnet" iOS app.
Note for Corporate or Volunteer Groups: Each volunteer from your group must complete the volunteer application form. On the form, please have everyone list the company or group name under "Group or Org Name". The committee will make every effort to staff groups together for the event.
