AMC Volunteer Tasks
Volunteering is a great way to participate in the AMC community. Two Wave Volunteer slots are available for each shift. You are expected to arrive promptly and remain on duty throughout your shift.
Room Captains help coordinate volunteers for each shift. When you arrive, report to the Room Captain to receive instructions for your shift.
Wave Volunteers are compensated with a free dance for their volunteer shift and one dance voucher.
