All volunteers are required to attend one mandatory volunteer orientation to be held over zoom. There will be three sessions offered this year in order to accommodate everyone's busy schedules. Volunteers only need to attend 1 session, not all three.

  • Friday, January 17, 2025  7:00p-8:30pm

  • Saturday, January 18, 2025 11:00am - 12:30pm

  • Saturday, January 18, 2025 3:00p - 4:30p

In addition to the virtual orientation session there will be in-person training for the following events:

If you sign up to work the Climate Solutions Series events there will be an in-person training at the American Swedish Institution January 22, 2025 from 3:00p-4:00p.

If you sign up to work at Sauna Village there will be an in person training on Wednesday, January 22, 2025 beginning at 5:00pm.

If you can't attend orientation or in-person training, please indicate that in the comments when you sign up for a shift and a TGN staff member will make sure you get the information you need prior to attending your first volunteer shift.
