# Volunteering

> Sign up to volunteer at an event and earn discount rewards.

Many organizers run events with volunteers — course marshals, aid stations, registration desk. Time2Bike has a built-in signup so you can claim a shift and (often) earn a reward toward a future registration.

## Find a shift

There are two entry points:

* The **event page** at `time2.bike/events/[slug]` — look for **Volunteer** in the actions row.
* The direct URL `time2.bike/events/[slug]/volunteer`.

Each event lists one or more **volunteer efforts** (e.g. "Race-day course marshals"). Pick one to see open shifts.

## Sign up

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick a shift">
    Each shift shows the role, time window, and how many spots are left.
    Full shifts are marked **Full** and can't be selected.

  <Step title="Enter your info">
    Name, email, and phone. If you're logged in, these prefill. Add notes for the organizer if you want.
  </Step>

  </Step>
</Steps>

## Rewards

Many volunteer efforts include a **reward** — a percent or dollar discount on a future registration with that organizer. The discount code is emailed to you after the organizer confirms your completed shift.

The reward (if any) is shown on each volunteer effort card before you sign up.

## Cancelling

The confirmation email contains a single-use cancellation link if you can't make it. Use it early so the organizer can fill the spot.

## Race day

Show up at the time and location the organizer gave you. They may scan a QR code or check you in by name. Once your shift is marked complete, your reward (if any) is issued.
