There will be a link located here (https://www.waiverfile.com/b/DisabledSportsUSAInc) and below with the Move United Waiver release located through an external link . The West Michigan Sports Commission one is below in writing and in PDF file below.
Before Signing Up, Please Know the Following:
All VOLUNTEERS MUST BE 16 YEARS OR OLDER AND NO PRIOR VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE NEEDED!
Volunteers will be provided a T-Shirt and snacks/beverages
Confirmed Volunteers will receive reminders through email prior to the event with more details
It is recommended that volunteers bring sunscreen, a water bottle, a hat, and closed toe-comfortable shoes as most sign-up spots will be taking place outside
If you are signing up for a volunteer opportunity at the YMCA there will be a Background Check performed prior to the event

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO GO THROUGH EACH DATE AS THERE ARE MANY POSSIBLE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES!
