Volunteer
As a EBV volunteer you're able to give back to those that have given so much for this country. We offer a number of different volunteer opportunites for every type of individual. There are positions for those that have entrepreneurial experience of their own that they would like to share as well as opportunities for the more creative individuals that would like to help with executing the event. We also offer an opportunity for individuals that are open to helping out with the program on an 'as needed' basis. Below are descriptions of the volunteer positions our program offers.
