Vanguard volunteers serve as the heart of our organization. Made up of parents, friends, alumni and fans, they generously offer their time in a variety of ways including: preparing meals, fitting and washing uniforms, driving corps vehicles, fixing equipment, and providing support for our summer tour.
We are currently looking for volunteers to help on “Miss Amana” – our fully equipped, 48-foot mobile kitchen! On the road, we prepare four meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack) for our members each day, and we couldn’t make that happen without the dedication and hard work of people like you. Not only will you greatly impact the experience of 150 marching members, but you’ll also have a backstage pass to all things SCV – plus a bunk on our support staff bus!
Below you will find the Volunteer Shift Schedule for this summer. We invite you to sign up for a shift, or multiple if you wish. If you are interested in volunteering, please send an email to Michele Teevan, Volunteer Coordinator at Volunteer@SCVanguard.org with your preference of shift. If any of these dates don’t work within your schedule, we are happy to customize your shift.
