CFI VOLUNTEER GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

Helpful information and updates for volunteers will be posted here.

Volunteer T-Shirts

We are asking our volunteers to wear red shirts, preferably from a previous CFI.  We will have more limited quantities of shirts moving forward, and they will be the same design we had for fall 2024.  There is an option on the CFI volunteer sign up form to indicate you have a shirt already.
 

Volunteer Support During CFI

CFI Home Base is available to support volunteers in answering questions and providing information to students that cannot be answered by volunteers at the tables. We will use the resources we are provided to answer these questions and report back to the tables by radio.

VOLUNTEERING FOR CFI

  • Volunteers Must Read!

    What to do as a CFI volunteer:

    • Arrive at your shift early.
    • Check in by using the QR Code for volunteers:
    • Never leave the radio alone! At the end of the day, we will pick up the radio.
    • First shift sets out the materials.
    • Water will be delivered throughout the day. Make sure to leave water for volunteers.
    • Call Home Base if you run out of a particular give-away. We may have more and will bring you anything that is available.
    • Don't pour out the melted ice water from the buckets! Even after the ice has melted, the cold water will help keep the bottled water cool.
    • Keep a count of all questions and record the total from the counter at the end of each shift. Do not erase the tally counter. If your tally counter does not work, use hash marks on a piece of paper or another method of counting. Record your shift count by using the .
    • Do not turn away a student with a difficult question! Check the resources on this page or call Home Base.
    • Call Home Base with schedule questions! Home Base has access to the online schedule.
    • Be proactive! Don't wait for students to approach you. Ask them if they need help or want water. Welcome them to .
    • Keep hydrated! It's hot out there!
    • Last shift puts materials back in the box! Do take down and put the banner in the box (we have had some stolen). Do not put the radio or water in the box. Wait for someone to pick up the radio and box.
