VOLUNTEER AND JOIN THE MOVEMENT!

We cannot do this amazing event without you! The success of Walk MS is directly related to the wonderful volunteers who help make this event happen. Walk MS Volunteer Applications must be received no later than April 7, 2014 in order to be assigned to a task.

Community Service

To earn community service hours students may:

1. Volunteer for a Walk MS job. Minors must be accompanied by a parent/guardian and all the necessary forms must be filled out prior to the event.   

2. Register as a Walk MS participant and fundraise a minimum of $50. Registration and pledge form must be completed and handed in by the event day.

Community service certificates and/or letter will not be filled out at the event. The student will receive credit for the actual hours that one has dedicated to the event that day, no exceptions.
