Before you commit to a role

  1. Check the task and time.

    Ask what you’ll be doing, when to arrive and how long the shift lasts.

  2. Confirm experience and support.

    Some roles need specific skills, training or membership. The organizer can explain what applies and what support is available.

  3. Know who to meet.

    Confirm your contact, check-in location and any instructions you need before the event.
