The Volunteer Roundup is an orientation about the Cowboy Festival where events will be introduced and all questions will be answered. Volunteers will gain an insider’s look into the Festival and be entered into raffles to win free cowboy memorabilia. At the Volunteer Roundup participants will receive a volunteer shirt, have the chance to make changes to shift assignments and sign up for available positions including: ticket takers, volunteer check-in, safety patrol, ushering, food court, merchandise, and more.

This year, all volunteers are required to register through the City’s new online Rec1 software, which is a convenient and easy-to-use online registration service.  Interested participants can select the jobs and shifts desired from the comfort of their own home at Santa-Clarita.com/index.aspx?page=857
