Community Service & Volunteering
Join Our Volunteer Team!
The Skill Share thrives on a culture of service, where each helping hand contributes to the magic of the gathering. Everyone who attends is invited to sign up for a volunteer shift upon arrival. From setting up spaces to supporting the kitchen, every role is essential in the healthy functioning of the Fulcrum Village. Weaving a strong, connected community, volunteering is more than just a task—it’s a meaningful way to give back, build relationships, and be part of something greater than ourselves.
We still have a few spots open! If you feel called to join one of our Volunteer Lead Teams, please apply through the Google Form below and help bring Fulcrum to life this Spring. 💛
