We thought you'd like to know these helpful tips before you register\r\n to volunteer at an Operation Christmas Child\r\n Processing Center.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Save the Date for Registration<\/h2>\r\n

Save the date to sign up as soon as registration\r\n opens.<\/a><\/strong> Spots fill up quickly, so be sure to contact\r\n us as soon\r\n as your registration opens, especially if you have a\r\n large group! If the time slot you want is full, please search for another slot that is open.<\/p>\r\n

Group Leaders—Create a Volunteer Profile<\/h2>\r\n

Set up your\r\n volunteer profile,<\/a> if you don't already have one. This\r\n will save you time when you reserve your time slot.<\/p>\r\n

2<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n

Ensure All Volunteers are Ages 13+<\/h2>\r\n

We require\r\n one adult chaperone for every four youth (13‐17).<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Fill Out Volunteer Waiver Online to Use FAST PASS<\/h2>\r\n

Complete the waiver online<\/strong> before you volunteer.\r\n If everyone\r\n in your group does so, it will allow you to check in using FAST\r\n PASS. (Think TSA pre-check, but free!) Your FAST PASS will be in\r\n the confirmation email sent to the leader of the group.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Adjust Reservations as Needed<\/h2>\r\n

Update your\r\n reservation and group number online<\/a>\r\n as soon as possible if group members drop out or someone joins at the last\r\n minute. This will get you through check-in easily. Be\r\n advised,\r\n there is no guarantee that your group will be able to serve\r\n in\r\n the same station at the processing center, but we will do\r\n our\r\n best to keep your group together.<\/i> We want you to have a\r\n great\r\n volunteer experience!<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Plan a Time to Arrive<\/h2>\r\n

Please plan for your group to arrive on time.<\/strong> We\r\n cannot\r\n guarantee spots will be available the hours before or after your\r\n time slot, and we want everyone who signed up to be able\r\n to serve.<\/p>\r\n
