1) Why become an Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) Volunteer ?

• You will make an impact. Thousands from around the U.S. volunteer to make the Foundation's programs a great success. Volunteers help build exhibits, organize fundraising events and spread awareness about the Aga Khan Foundation's work to break the cycle of poverty across Africa and Asia. As an AKF Volunteer, you will contribute your time and touch the lives of millions while we work to build better futures together.

• It's fun! Whether you are checking in participants or passing out snacks & water to participants during the races, we are confident that you will have a great time. We encourage you to bring as many friends and relatives you can to volunteer with you.
  

2) What are the requirements for volunteering?

• All volunteers must be at least 14 years of age. We will be able to sign off for community service hours if needed, so please take advantage of this opportunity!

3) What if I have a large group that wants to volunteer?

• The more the merrier! Please email volunteer.akfatlanta@gmail.com for more details to get your group set up for event day.
• If you have less than 25 people, please continue filling the volunteer form on this site. Have your friends do the same and be sure to sign up for the same area/shift if you wish to be together.

4) Can I sign up for more than one volunteer job on event day?

• Yes, as long as you are only signed up for one shift at a time. Make sure shift times do not conflict if you plan on volunteering in multiple areas. It is your responsibility to arrive at each area per your designated shift timing.

5) What should I wear or bring to volunteer?

• All volunteers will wear the official Aga Khan Foundation Run|Walk Volunteer shirt on event day. The t-shirt and lunch can be purchased for $5.
• Besides that, we recommend that you dress comfortably & family appropriate.
• Lunch will be provided for all registered volunteers.

6) What are my parking options for the event?

• Parking is available across from the field at the Yellow Daisy Lot. Stone Mountain parking is $15 for the entire day. Carpooling is recommended.

7) Can I run AND volunteer?

• Yes, but only if you sign up for a shift begining after 9:30am. Race morning will be too busy and fun to do both!

8) Still have questions or concerns that have not been addressed?

We look forward to seeing you volunteer on September 17th!
