Volunteer Positions

There are a variety of positions available from helping as a Teacher's Assistant in classrooms to greeting attendees as they enter the Vendor Faire shopping area or working in the CK Store. Most shifts are four hours long, but we have a few two and three hour shifts available. Shifts are available on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday with the earliest shifts starting at 8:00 am and the latest shifts ending at 9:30 pm.

Compensation

• One (1) Vendor Faire pass ($10 value)
• 50% off a t-shirt from the CK Bookstore
• $20 voucher for use in the CK Bookstore or to purchase a Creating Keepsakes sponsored class or activity
• Plus, a special gift that identifies you as a CKC Volunteer

These items are provided for each three or four hour shift worked. Two hour shifts receive 1 wristband, a 50% off coupon for a t-shirt, a $10 voucher for the CK Store or CK sponsored class or activity, and special gift.

Note: This compensation can be picked up during designated check in/out times, will not be redeemable for cash, and expires at end of the show.

Checking In and Out

We ask that you check in before your shift, at which time we'll give you your name badge and specifics on your assignment. In addition, we need you to check out so that we know you've completed your assignment and to receive your compensation.

The following are the times that check in and check out are available. Please pick a time that is closest to the beginning and end of your shift (we've tried to set up times that coordinate with shift schedules) as we will not have staff available at other times to check you in or out.

Note: For those working evening classes, crops, or workshops, you can check out the following morning or leave your name badge at the volunteer check desk.

Important Information

• Volunteers must be 16 years of age or older. We cannot allow you to bring young children with you to your volunteer assignment.

• When selecting a shift, please note any physical requirements such as lifting or walking. If you select a shift that you cannot fulfill because of physical limitations we will not be able to use you for that assignment and in most cases cannot move you to a different assignment.

• When registering, whatever shifts you choose, we will assume you are going to fulfill. Only select those assignments that you can complete, not those that you hope you will be scheduled for. You are creating your schedule when you register. Please note that some assignments may be adjusted onsite depending on the coverage needed.

• Keep in mind that some volunteer assignments overlap with each other, so make note of the start and end times, as well as the duration so that you do not pick shifts that overlap. Also, we welcome those that want to work multiple shifts, but keep in mind that lunch breaks are not included, and if you want time to shop or attend classes you'll want to create a schedule that allows you to participate in these activities.

• Class purchases using your voucher must be made at the event. Unfortunately, we cannot reimburse you for classes you purchase during pre-registration.
