-volunteers-
The Spark weekend wouldn’t happen without an awesome team of 80+ volunteers! Volunteers are proud to be UBC Sauder students and want to create the best possible welcome for new students by assisting with coat check, set-up, tear down, game stations, registration, food distribution, night event and more. They get a behind-the-scenes experience and are right in the middle of all the action!
