We Need You!
LVDA depends upon volunteers to successfully run our all our events.  

​

Each volunteer receives a set amount of volunteer hours for each volunteer activity, which can be used to apply for LVDA Year-End Awards.  See our LVDA Year-End Award Programs page for award requirements.

 

Volunteers can help other member achieve their goal of receiving a Year-End Award by transferring volunteer hours!  (See Transfer Volunteer Hours and Awarding & Recording of Volunteer Hours sections below).

 

If you are interested in volunteering at a show please contact the show manager - they can be found HERE.

    and 4 transferred Supporting Activities).​

 

  • If a member has 8 Physical/Hands-on Activities hours and wants to apply for 2 awards, they can use up to 8 Supporting Activities hours transferred to them by other LVDA member(s) to equal the required 8 hrs for each award (4 personal Physical/Hands-on Activities and 4 transferred Supporting Activities for each award)

    • Upon receipt of the Volunteer Hours Transfer Form the availability of the requested hours to be transferred will be verified and recorded under the recipient's name as Transferred Supporting Activities hours.
