Choose A Role

GTCA Information Tent
In this role you'll work side-by-side with members of the GTCA board, meeting folks from our community and helping to answer their questions, sell concession items, and sign up kids for the bike raffle. First shift, and last shift help to set up/take down the tent.
- Primary Activity: Interactive Communicator
- Shift Length: 4.5 Hours
- Lifting/carrying: Nothing Heavy
- Walking: None
Volunteers Needed
- 12:00pm-4:30pm: 1 Volunteer Needed

Logistics
If you are a workhorse, then this is the role for you. The Logistics team looks after setting up the event space with tables, chairs and garbage/recylcing bins. During the day, you'll help make sure the event space is tidy. This role involves requires an active person as it may involve a lot of walking (10K+ steps) on the day, as well as lifting and hauling. This role has you in and amongst the event goers, so you'll also be acting as an ambassador for the event as people often have questions about where different event features are located.
- Primary Activity: Interactive Communicator
- Shift Length: 5 Hours
- Lifting/carrying: Yes
- Walking: Lots
Volunteers Needed
- 6:45am-12:00pm: 1 Volunteer Needed

Ambassadors at Large
As an ambassador at large, you'll basically go where is needed on the day, when needed. If the bike valet needs help, you'll jump in to help, or if the Logistics team needs an extra hand keeping an area tidy, you'll help out. If not tasked to do anything, you'll just be a greeter at one of the ends of the event informing newcomers to the event how to find the online guide, directing visitors to the features they're most interested in. This is probably the most dynamic role of our volunteers.
- Primary Activity: Ambassador, Troubleshooter
- Shift Length: 5 Hours
- Lifting/Carrying: Maybe
- Walking: Probably
