NAMI Tallahassee's Bluebird Run/Walk for Mental Health Awareness & Suicide Prevention Volunteer Registration

Volunteer Registration Instructions

PLEASE READ THIS COMPLETE SECTION FIRST!

Details

If you have been a Bluebird volunteer previously and know the task you want, please look it up in the Find Your Category list above and click on it. If this is your first Bluebird volunteer experience or you have no task preference, go directly to the Wherever You Need Me category. Please DO NOT click on the [Volunteer] Button in THIS BOX (Volunteer Registration Instructions). Find your chosen task or go to Wherever You Need Me and click on the [Volunteer] button in that box.

The RunSignup volunteer registration portal requires registrants to have a RunSignup account. It takes just a minute to set up the account, and you can do it during the Volunteer registration process. RunSignup will not put you on a marketing list.

At this time, RunSignup does not provide for registrants to select multiple tasks. If you wish to choose multiple tasks, please register with your primary task and provide a note about other tasks you would like.

A Volunteer Coordinator will be in touch with you to confirm your volunteer task and provide further information and instructions in advance of Bluebird Day (aka Labor Day).

Thank you!
