How You Can Make a Difference 
As a volunteer, you’ll play an important role in creating a welcoming and supportive experience for athletes. Volunteers will assist duties such as athlete registration, station setup/breakdown and working with the Clinical Director to fulfill station requirements including performing dental screenings, recording screening findings and information distribution. Screenings will include instructions on correct brushing and flossing techniques.

What to Bring

Bring your dental expertise, a positive attitude, and a willingness to make a difference! Volunteers should be flexible, comfortable standing for extended periods, and ready to jump in wherever needed. Dress comfortably and remember to bring an extra water bottle.
