Thank you for your interest in being a volunteer for the 2018 Gender Spectrum Professionals' Symposium and/or Conference. The Professionals' Symposium will take place on Friday, July 6. The Conference will take place from July 7-8.

Both events will take place at St. Mary's College in Moraga.

We ask that you not attend and volunteer at the same event; it works better if people attend or volunteer, but not both. However, if you're volunteering two full days at the Conference, we can offer admission to the Professionals' Symposium for just the cost of our out-of-pocket expenses ($35). Please let us know if you're interested in this in the last question of the application (#16: Is there anything else you'd like us to know?).

Please note that, because volunteers work with or around youth, all volunteers are required to complete a background check (we cover the costs). You are required to submit your legal name to the background check agency, but not to Gender Spectrum. Please contact us with any questions.

You can learn more about the available volunteer positions here.

I will follow up with you after receiving your application. Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering!
