2024 Volunteer Events
Delegation Leadership Retreat
DLR is a leadership training conference, where Presiding Officers and Delegation Leaders come together to plan for the upcoming program year. Volunteers help with supervision, but can also lead a session on recruitment, fundraising, DIG, etc., if interested. We are also searching for volunteers to ride the charter buses to provide supervision there. Meals and lodging in rustic cabins is included, along with camp activities (archery, climbing wall, games, swimming, etc.). Registration is currently open now through August 1, 2024.
