Volunteering at a major Christian concert tour is fast-paced, fun, and incredibly rewarding. Here’s what you can count on:

  • You’ll help support the event, artists, and child-sponsorship partners.
  • Expect to be on your feet, moving around, and interacting with guests.
  • Our on-site Concert Connection rep will walk you through everything once you arrive.
  • You’ll serve, meet great people, and enjoy the show throughout the night.
  • No prior experience needed — just a great attitude and willingness to help!

📝 Volunteer Responsibilities
This volunteer roles center around helping the tour's child-sponsorship partner, Children International.

  • Sponsorship table support (answering questions, helping guests understand the process)
  • Passing out child sponsorship packets during intermission & at the end of the show
  • Collecting completed packets and assisting guests through the sign-up steps
  • Helping attendees find open sponsorship packets that match their interests
  • Guiding guests to the correct table or rep when they’re ready to sponsor
  • Cheering on and celebrating new sponsors throughout the night
  • Light line flow awareness to help guests find sponsorship areas easily

FAQ
Q: Can I sign up friends or family to volunteer with me?

Each person must register individually using their own name, email, phone number, and zip code so we can communicate directly with each volunteer.
If you need help registering multiple people using the same contact info, email us at [email protected].
Q: What about group sign-ups?

We love groups!
Send us a quick message at [email protected] with:

  • the city you want to serve in

Q: Do volunteers receive free tickets?

A volunteer spot does not include a traditional ticketed seat.
However, unless the venue is fully sold out, volunteers have access to a designated seating area to enjoy the show between serving moments.
Q: Is parking provided?

We do not provide or validate event parking. Be sure to allow extra time for parking so you can arrive at check-in on time.

Extremely important!
If you do not arrive by or before the requested time, you may not be allowed entry to the event.
Your arrival time is when our rep is stationed at check-in and ready to get you inside the venue.
Plan to arrive a few minutes early — parking can be unpredictable and we want your experience to be smooth!
