2025 Volunteer Requirements
LVDA Volunteering
Volunteer Hours at LVDA Hosted shows vs Registered Shows
Volunteer hours are recorded "live" on our website, so it's easy to keep track during the show season.
At LVDA Hosted shows and for non-show volunteering, LVDA keeps track.
Volunteer hours working at both LVDA shows and registered shows will accrue toward Year-End Award requirements.
Volunteer hours for registered shows will count 1/2 an hour for every hour worked (same format as "NPASS hours" have been recorded in the past).
For some LVDA registered shows (Heart's Journey and Hidden Creek), show managers will record volunteer hours on the LVDA spreadsheet.
For other registered shows, please forward a copy of your ESDCTA volunteer form to: [please note, contact will be provided prior to the start of show season]
Interested in learning more about volunteering??
Some jobs are specialized and require skills (Show Secretary/Manager, or Scribe), some can be trained on the spot.
Some are for the more outdoorsy, outgoing people (Ring Steward), some might be better suited for a sedenatary person (Scorer).
And if you have a unique skill that can add value to our organization, drop us a line! We'd love to hear your ideas and give you volunteer hours for your contributions!
Keep an eye out for Centerline News in your email box and watch our FaceBook page! Sign-Up Genius will be available as we have volunteer jobs that need to be filled!

How We're Making Volunteering Easier
We'll use sign-up Genius for LVDA Hosted shows
There are lots of opportunities for volunteer hours that are not at our shows ... we'll post jobs available on Facebook and in Centerline News.
