Volunteers

InterContinental Miami Hotel
July 12 – July 15, 2023

Volunteer applications is now closed for the upcoming convention to be held July 12 – July 15, 2023, in Miami, FL. 

Volunteers are needed for a variety of functions like special events, event luncheons, expo hall, breakout rooms/sessions, registration, and much more. Volunteers should be available for as long as possible on the day of the event. Job functions will vary depending on what we need on the day of the event and the times that you are available. Volunteers will receive free admission to the event that they help with or an equivalent of a day pass.

The first priority is the bag stuffing project on Sunday, July 9th. Volunteer assignments for this event will be handled first. A large number of local volunteers are needed for this day. If you and people you know live in or near Miami and you can set aside time on Sunday, July 9th, please join us!

It is true that, in general, volunteering a day of service at the convention can earn a day of convention access to non-ticketed events (other restrictions may also apply).

Volunteer FAQ

NAHJ will not provide hotel, parking, transportation expenditures, or reimbursements to volunteers, including garage, on-the-street, and valet parking.

Specific assignments will be made much closer to the start of the convention. Our biggest needs will be the Sunday before the convention, July 9, when we will be performing pre-convention tasks, especially convention bag organization and stuffing. The first day of the convention, Wednesday, July 12th, will be a big day for volunteers, too. Shifts are available morning, afternoon, and evening and we will need volunteers throughout the week and for special assignments.

Valid state identification or driver’s license may be requested to verify volunteer identity during the convention and career fair.
