Once your expression of interest is submitted, a Spark team member will be in touch to confirm current team availability and send a link to our volunteer application form. Please note that you will need contact details for two referees (one of these must be your Minister/Pastor). When we receive your application, we will contact your referees and determine your suitability for this role.
Once an application has been approved, we will contact you via email with instructions to purchase your volunteer ticket. For volunteers staying on-site, your volunteer ticket will go towards providing your meals and accommodation for the weekend.
