Volunteering FAQ

The weather is bad, is the restoration event still happening?

Mostly yes. There are only three circumstances when a restoration event will be cancelled either in advance or during the event. They are:

1. Sustained wind speeds above 25 miles per hour (mph)
2. Lightning and/or thunder storms in the area
3. Severe weather temperatures

Rain is expected at every event, and is not cause for event cancellation.

What is your age policy?

While all ages are welcome, there are a few restrictions. They are:

• All volunteers who are 17 years of age or younger must have a parent or legal guardian sign their liability waivers.
• Volunteers who are 15 years of age or older are allowed to volunteer without parental supervision.
• Volunteers who are 14 years of age or younger must have parental supervision during the event.
