Call for Volunteers!

This year's Show is on track to be a record-breaking one, and as the Show grows, so does the need for volunteers. We estimate that we'll need about 50 volunteers, so if you're undecided about helping out, this is the year to do it.

Yes, it's your chance to give back to the Volvo community, and it's fun, educational, and good for you. See the list below, if you can help out, please let us know ASAP! Experience not needed, we provide training. Choose your shift, first shift people get done early and avoid the crowd for parking.

Any questions, or to volunteer, e-mail Jon Manji at: jon.manji@ggvcoa.org
