Zero Waste Football Volunteer Recruitment Video

Grand Valley hosts Zero Waste Football Games, striving to create as little landfill waste as possible at each game. If you are an individual or student organization interested in volunteering at one of our Zero Waste Football Games, please fill out the form below or contact Yumi at [email protected].

REGISTERED STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS, CLUBS AND TEAMS:

We would love your help!  In order to volunteer, you need a minimum of 12 students (the more students the better - that allows you to work in pairs or shifts).  Volunteers receive training, a t-shirt, and food voucher for the game.  If you fulfil your responsibilities, your organization will also be eligible for a $500 incentive.  To learn more about the role, please watch the video on this page and read the detailed description below.  If you're interested in joining us, please sign up using the form below!

What to Expect

Here is information about volunteering for the game. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We will also go over it with everyone at the pre-game training.

  • Please arrive about 30 minutes prior to game (6:30pm for 7:00pm start, 2:30pm for 3pm start, 2:30pm for 1pm start).  Volunteers will collect their badges at this time and we will do a quick pre-game training. The badges have a cheat sheet inside, as well as a voucher for the concession stand. These badges will get you in and out of the game, so no need to get any tickets.
  • At the meeting time, please meet in Lot B on the West side of the old Ravines community center (it is the only building still standing in that lot – it’s tan with a brown roof, labeled RAC on the map below). We will do a quick training.
  • Please be advised to dress appropriately for weather.
  • We do not have a guaranteed safe space for personal belongings, so only bring items that you are willing to keep with you for the entirety of the game. Please note there is a new policy for bags:  Clear Bag Policy - Grand Valley State University Athletics (gvsulakers.com) 
  • The main task is to stay at the waste station and help educate visitors on where to place their trash (in the compost, landfill, or recycle bins). For the most part, you just need to be a friendly helper using your cheat-sheet, and people will place their trash in the bins themselves.
