It may seem odd at first to pay to volunteer, but you are paying for the all-around experience we provide. The cost of your ticket goes toward food and drink after we volunteer, as well as helping cover other expenses related to creating a great event for you. We’re a nonprofit with a lean budget, after all! Plus, we find that paying to register leads to a stronger turnout. We always want a full group showing up to give back and have fun, and this ensures we can best serve our nonprofit partners as expected.
