Calling All Volunteers!

SHAPE America seeks enthusiastic volunteers to assist at the 2025 National Convention & Expo, the premier event for health and physical educators. To pull off an event of this magnitude, it’s all hands-on deck! Each year over 100 volunteers are an integral component to our convention’s success.

Thank you to all the volunteers that came out to support #SHAPECleveland. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for even more individuals to contribute to another successful event! Volunteering is a great opportunity to meet and network with others in the community. Phone a friend and volunteer as a group!

On site, our volunteers serve in a variety of roles including, but not limited to:

• Monitoring session rooms – greeting speakers, ensuring AV/equipment is set, reporting any issues to SHAPE America staff, and providing an estimated attendance for assigned rooms/sessions.
• Managing activity equipment – organizing, delivering, and retrieving activity equipment for all activity sessions.
• Preparing materials for attendees – stuffing attendee bags with all inserts, ensuring all handouts are dropped on seats at major events like the Opening/Closing General Session, lectures, etc.
• Welcoming attendees and assisting with registration crowd management – greeting attendees as they enter the facility and directing them to the appropriate registration booth and/or the Attendee Hub.
• Assisting exhibitors for their demos – greeting exhibitors and assisting them with set-up/dismantling of exhibitor demos in the exhibit hall at their scheduled time
