FAQ-Volunteering
Rating: +1 We do our best to assign volunteers to work in the position they request. If there is a position that you are unable to do, let us know and we'll be sure to accommodate that. In general, most volunteers get their first or second request. Rating: +0 Yes, all volunteers must register. 250+ volunteers help us to run the event. During registration you will choose the job(s) you would like to do and this helps us to efficiently task and organize our volunteers. Rating: +0 There is no fee to register as a volunteer. Most volunteers do make a donation to support cancer survivors. Others choose to register as a virtual rider, for which there is also no fee, in order to actively solicit donations from friends and family to support CT Challenge programs for cancer survivors. Rating: +0 There is no fundraising requirement for volunteers, but we encourage all of our volunteers to raise money. Everyone has a personal reason for participating in the CT Challenge - as a volunteer or cyclist. If you communicate your reason to your friends and family and ask them to support a cause that motivates you - helping cancer survivors - you will be pleasantly surprised by how much money you can raise for a great cause. When you register as a volunteer you will automatically get a fundraising webpage that you can customize with your message. Send the link to this page to your contacts and ask for their support. If you have questions about how to do this, you can email info@ctchallenge.org. Rating: +0 Our volunteer coordinator will begin final volunteer assignments in June and begin contacting volunteers with their final assignments. When you register, please mark the event date on your calendar so you are sure to keep it open. Rating: +0 Dress casually and comfortably. Late July can be very hot and humid so please dress accordingly. Shorts are definitely acceptable. All volunteers will receive a light yellow volunteer t-shirt when you arrive that must be worn while you are working. Rating: +0 With the exception of volunteers who are working at rest stops far from Westport, all volunteers will report first to Volunteer Check-In at the Hunt Club where you will check in, receive your t-shirt and any additional instructions you will need to do your job. There is plenty of parking on-site at the Hunt Club. All volunteers should be at their assigned post no less than 15 minutes before their shift is scheduled to start. Rating: +0 We will do our best to accommodate specific requests. The sooner you register, the better the chances are for success. After you and your friend(s) register on the website, send an email to info@ctchallenge.org to make your request. Rating: +0 Because we assign specific people to specific roles, it is absolutely critical that you notify us as soon as possible if you discover you cannot fulfill your role. We cannot risk having your position go un-filled and need to find a replacement quickly. Rating: +0 The ride goes on rain or shine. Cyclists will ride in the rain and the weather can change quickly. We need all our volunteers to report for their assigned jobs regardless of the weather. We will have cyclists on the road and we will need our volunteers to ensure their safe, smooth and enjoyable ride.
