Volunteer Information
The place to start to volunteer to work in Waveland (or help in any way on M2M projects) is to use the link at left (or click right here) and complete our online survery/sign-up form. You will be contacted very quickly, and then you'll receive a packet of information. In the packet is a sign-up form and a liability release form – both of which will need to be signed and returned before your trip and before you can work.
The information provided below is aimed at answering many of the questions we get daily about your commitment, your role, where to stay, etc. We expect more than 200 people to do volunteer work on this project and everyone has the same issues... how do I get there? what does it cost? where will I stay? PLEASE SAVE US TIME AND ENERGY (there are only one or two of us talking to volunteers) AND READ THE MATERIAL BELOW. Thanks!
