Volunteer: Ford Center Shows

The Ford Center utilizes Signup Genius as their volunteer management system. Volunteers who are interested in serving with them should follow the hyperlink to be redirected:

On September 1st, we are having our volunteer orientation! If you have not been to an orientation, want a refresher, or a chance to meet other volunteers, please sign up and come! I 'll be ordering cookies, so if you sign up, I get a better idea of how many to get. Feel free to share this link or my email (mlcook5@olemiss.edu) to anyone who might be interested. Already had someone reach out via a referral!

Next Tuesday, we are having the Gatlin Brothers in concert. You may see two unusual slots - one is to help with merchandise set-up in the afternoon. We are still trying to confirm that time, so it may be adjusted. That will be moving boxes and unloading items, so there is a manual labor aspect to it. The other is the assistant manager position. I will be coming from Jackson that day and hope to be here before all of you. But in case I'm not, I need someone to get things rolling for me. You must be an experienced volunteer for this slot. If I do not think you have enough experience, I will switch you to a different spot. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0C4EA5AF22AAFC1-65261808-week#/


The Theatre Department then moves into the Ford Center. While they are here for a while, they won't have any public events until their performances the beginning of October. They will be putting on four performances of Come From Away. Please make note of which performance(s) you sign up for. That's a bye weekend in football just in case you were wondering.

For our new volunteers - welcome! Some of the positions might not make sense until you either go thru training and/or read thru your volunteer handbook. You can still sign up for them. Just know that I might move you to a different spot if I do not think you have enough experience to be at a certain position.  If you have any questions, I can be reached at mlcook5@olemiss.edu, 662-915-2859 (office) or 406-600-7285 (cell). Please note that the office number is a landline (!), so it cannot accept text messages.


If you can't stay for an entire shift, let me know and I will see what I can do. Thanks for all you do for me and the Ford Center!


PS - I'll send out a reminder email, but if you're first event is coming up and you didn't make the orientation, please arrive 20 minutes before the shift time in Sign Up Genius and we'll do a crash course training. As a reminder, you'll want to wear black on bottom, white on top, and comfy shoes. 

Service hours are collected and inserted manually at the end of the month.
