Volunteer on Move In Day!
Did you know that we move over 7,000 students into residence at UBC before school starts in September? That’s a lot of people! And we need a ton of volunteers to welcome them to campus, help them find their way and help them move their stuff.
Can you volunteer?
We are looking for UBC staff volunteers for both move in days:
-
- Move In Day: Tuesday, September 1—Jump Start students move in.
- Move In Day: Saturday, September 5—all other Winter Session residents move in.
What does volunteering look like?
Your main task will be to help students physically move their items into residence. This can mean helping them guide their suitcase from the shuttle to the elevators, helping them unload their vehicle, assisting in loading and unloading items into carts and carrying items into their new home!
You will be outside and inside of the residences throughout the day and putting in a lot of steps. Please dress according to the weather and wear comfortable footwear.   We will be using the Vome Volunteer app to sign in and out of your shift. You will need to create an account to register and then download the app before your first shift!
What you get!
- Move In Day t-shirt
- A digital gift card
- The opportunity to meet new friends and provide a friendly, fun and smooth move-in experience for incoming UBC residents and families. Who doesn’t love that?
What to bring
- Water
- Comfortable shoes
- Weather appropriate clothes (layers and rain gear are never a bad idea)
- Sunscreen and a hat
- Snacks or lunch if you get hungry or are working multiple shifts
- A smile!
