Volunteers

Volunteers are an important component to the success of Sara’s Beach Walk. We couldn’t do it without you! Your commitment and experience with this journey is extraordinary.

We have three volunteer teams that make up a lot of other teams. The three teams are site, road and medical. Each team will have a leader and build strong volunteer teams that will support Hard Walkers, Day Trippers and Punk Walkers.

Once you register, we will contact you and make sure your skills are matched with the proper team. There is no registration fee or fundraising minimum required only dedicated rock’n volunteers. You can register online or call 866-9MB-WALK.

When you register online, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions to fill out an assignment form. If you register offline, we will make sure you receive your assignment form to be filled out. Every volunteer must officially register.

Volunteers will be given support, training and many heartfelt thanks.
