This is different than a drill or parade. Here you will be directly working with individuals directly who need your help. It’s the best kind of one-to-one activity. You will end the day knowing that you made a difference.” -R.R.

ARES Communicators are needed to staff the communications Incident Command Post (ICP), up to 15 SAG vehicles, and 5 fixed locations along the route.  Please refer to the individual job descriptions for additional information.

Sign-ups for the tour have been split across two event pages, one for the AM shift, and another for the PM shift.

Please note that the "Rest Stop Lead" job is an all-day commitment, covering both the AM and PM shifts.  Rest Stop Leads are responsible for providing the communications gear and setup used at the stop.  If you're familiar with the tour, and have a preference about which rest stop you'd like to staff, contact the event organizer at operations @ sjraces.org

Note that volunteers will be provided socks -- register your size here.
