CONvergence

What's in it for our volunteers? We're so glad you asked! Our volunteers can earn nifty gifts that are available ONLY to volunteers. Our website will be updated shortly with this year's offerings, but we're pretty stoked about this year's gifts. Choose from things like a fidget block, a foldable tote bag, a jigsaw puzzle, and a bluetooth speaker!

Plan on volunteering at least four hours and you'll get access to VolDen - a version of ConSuite available ONLY to those who volunteer four or more hours. In the past, VolDen has treated us to baked potatoes, pasta, and hot dogs.

And don't forget the party after the party! EVERYONE who volunteers is invited to the thank you party, date soon to be announced.
