We need YOU!
Our Houston regional, Unbroken Spring, is entirely volunteer-driven and the event can’t happen without your help.
The people working on the event are organized into five departments, headed by Department Coordinators. Each department consists of multiple teams, each with their own focus and Team Lead.
The departments and teams are laid out in the chart and the departments are described in more detail below, along with the names and contact emails for the the Coordinators.
We’re looking for help in every department. If you have a lot of time, or just a little time, we have something for you to do. If you can come early to the event, or late, or not at all, we still need your talents.
We’re also looking for donated materials… have a look at our wish list.
In the signup form below, you’re given an opportunity to pick a department (or several!) where you’d like to volunteer.
Come help make Unbroken Spring 2017 a success!
