  • 2027 Rubber Tramp Rendezvous Volunteer Application

  • The 2027 Rubber Tramp Rendezvous (RTR) will take place January 6-14, 2027.  The first three days, January 6-8, will be the Women’s RTR (WRTR), followed by the main RTR from January 9-14.  Some positions, such as setup/teardown and video editing, may be for days before or after the RTRs.

    If you have any questions, please complete and submit this form, including your question in the designated box at the end. Your Team Lead will get back to you as soon as possible. This is a busy time for everyone, so we appreciate your patience, flexibility, and generosity as we work together to make the 2027 RTR a success!

    You're welcome to volunteer in more than one area.  To do so, please fill out a separate application for each position.  Thank you!

    • Volunteers are served a pizza lunch during orientation and training on Tuesday afternoon, January 5th, at 12:00 PM, at the Quartzsite Town Park ballfield (the RTR venue).
    • Volunteers are also honored with a thank you event on Friday January 15th.  
    • Special 2026 Volunteer RTR logo patches are gifted to recognize those volunteers who complete at least 9 hours total (minimum of 3 three-hour shifts, 3 four-hour shifts, 2 five-hour shifts, or 1 nine-hour Guest Safety shift).

  • We encourage the participation of volunteers who support our mission and are willing to contribute. The information provided through this form will be kept confidential and will help us determine the most satisfying and appropriate volunteer opportunity for you.

  • Attention, women and non-binary folks!  Please, please, please consider including WRTR days in your volunteer schedule!  Some positions are so important that if we don't have enough female volunteers, we must fill the gaps with male volunteers.  This is most common for the Daily Setup/Teardown, Guest Safety Services, First Aid, and Traffic/Parking teams.  

  • Scheduling Shifts

  • Please let us know all shifts for which you're able to volunteer.  It does not necessarily commit you to working all of them.  This helps Leads with scheduling.  If you only want to commit to a limited number of shifts, or would like to specify preferences, please let us know in the "Additional notes" section below. 

    First, select which days you're available to volunteer.  Then, select your preferred shifts.  Since this form doesn't allow you to pick different shifts on different days (that is, it doesn't let you pick Monday afternoon and Wednesday morning shifts), just do the best you can with the options presented.  Then below, you can enter additional notes about your schedule to clarify the situation.  

    As always, your Team Lead will work with you to create a schedule that works best for everyone!

  • The "TEAM LEADS" option is for our existing leadership team only.  
    We are not accepting applications for additional team leads.  

    Team Leads:  All scheduling options have been hidden for this position.  It is assumed you will be present for the entirety of the schedule including setup, WRTR, RTR, and teardown as appropriate for your team. Please mention any known exceptions or conflicts in the "Additional Notes About Your Schedule" box below.

  • Setup/Breakdown Team:  New this year, the form has been streamlined to incorporate the Event Setup/Teardown (the heavy work in the days before/after the RTR) and the Daily setup/teardown.  You no longer have to submit two different applications for each position!  Simply select all of your desired options below!  :)

  • Which days and shifts of Event Setup/Breakdown would you like to volunteer for
