Tracker School FAQs: Volunteer

I want to volunteer — how do I do that?
If you would like to apply to volunteer for a class, go to our Class Schedule and find the date of the class for which you would like to volunteer, click on the “Volunteer For This Class” link and fill out and submit the application form. You will receive an e-mail from our Volunteer Coordinator to let you know if you have been accepted to help out at the class. Volunteers are generally accepted on a first come, first served basis.

What classes can I volunteer for?
You can apply to volunteer at any class that you have previously completed as a student.

How many classes can I volunteer for?
There is no limit to the number of classes for which you can apply as a volunteer, but please keep in mind that we have many people who want to help out at classes — especially Standards. Remember as well that volunteers are vital to making a class successful, and if you are accepted as a volunteer for a class we will be counting on you to show up. If circumstances change and you are unable to make the class, let us know as soon as possible so someone on the waiting list can be called in to fill the vacant space.

I haven’t taken any classes, but I’d still like to volunteer. Can I do that?
No, you must previously completed a class as a student before you can apply to volunteer.

What does a Volunteer do?
Volunteers are a vital part of making each class a success. Having graduates of a class available to answer questions and help out in workshops is of tremendous value to current students, and provides a much larger pool of people they can turn to for assistance. As well, volunteers help to prepare and serve meals, head up the student crews and assist Instructors and Interns in lecture and workshop preparation — all of which are essential when it comes to keeping classes running smoothly. And don’t forget, whenever you’re not needed as a helper, we encourage you to sit in on the lectures and participate in the exercises and workshops. It’s a great way to brush up on your skills, or discover what you may have missed the first time around!
