Volunteer
WE LOVE VOLUNTEERS!

VOLUNTEERING IS A GREAT WAY TO GET SERVICE HOURS (for Bright Futures, Scholarship applications, etc or simply to do a nice thing for others). Volunteering at a VRC event is fun!
For now, simply email your name, age, preferred shift and cellphone number to [email protected]. Please put "Volunteer Jan 25" in the subject line!!
Emergency/Bad Weather Policy
In the event of an emergency cancellation or other change in plans, teams will be notified via the team contact information available through RobotEvents.com. Be certain this contact emails and phone numbers for your teams are correct to insure up-to-date information.
If you have questions or concerns, EMAIL [email protected] or TEXT (DO NOT CALL!!) 570-387-8129 (Due to spam and fraud, I do not answer calls from numbers not in my contacts, sorry)
Refund and Payment Policies
Refunds will ONLY be issued if the event is cancelled. Refunds will always be $5 less than the registration fee, due to the non-refundable fees required by RECF.
IF you register a team, and later find they cannot attend, PLEASE contact [email protected] as there may be waitlisted teams that will buy your spot from you.
The payment deadline for this event is January 10th. If you have not paid by this date, your team can be moved to the waitlist.
