I've been accepted to volunteer, when will I know my posting?
If you have been accepted as a Volunteer you will receive your posting around the third week of April. If you have been accepted to volunteer after that time, your posting information will either be mailed out to you before the event or you will be notified onsite. Your posting is the specific position you will be serving for the YC weekend.
Where can volunteers eat during the weekend?
There is a volunteer guest lounge located in the Agricom where volunteers can eat their meals. Volunteers posted at Rexall Place can eat in the South Club. Volunteers are provided 4 food vouchers of $5.00 each to use at Northlands throughout the weekend.
How much does parking cost for the weekend?
Parking is available at Northlands Agricom. Parking costs will be posted closer to the event day.
Can I request to be at Rexall or Agricom?

What's the difference between volunteering at "Rexall" and volunteering at "Agricom"?
Rexall Place and the Agricom are collectively referred to as "Northlands" and are connected via a pedway that runs above 118th Avenue. Rexall Volunteers work the main sessions which happen Friday night as well as Saturday and Sunday morning and evening. Agricom Volunteers are responsible for ensuring the afternoon activities (stages, workshops, and inflatable games) run smoothly.

We have mandatory orientation meetings that must be attended prior to serving at the event. For Edmonton and surrounding areas, Training Day is April 22nd, 2010. Please arrive on time with your signed Volunteer Commitment form. Volunteer Commitment forms can be printed from our website.
