“. . . In this life, there are few things as important as proper education. As a Church and as a people, we have always been foremost in the warfare against ignorance and bigotry and lack of knowledge and understanding among men.”
— Joseph Fielding Smith
Hosting is such an enjoyable and rewarding experience that most of our volunteers return year after year. It is also a great way to get a free pass to Education Week! Select the "Hosting Application" link below to submit an application.
Education Week hosts who fill a volunteer shift on four consecutive days receive a name badge for free admission to classes on Monday through Friday. You can attend classes any time except during your assigned shifts.
Here are the available shifts (actual shift assignments may vary):
Common tasks and expectations of hosting volunteers:
We do our best to schedule your shift based on the information you provide. Since we are unable to anticipate the number of applications we will receive, we may not be able to accept all who apply. Cancellations are problematic, so please apply only if you are confident that you will be able to serve. Hosts must be age 18 or older by August 21, 2017. If you have questions, please call 801-422-6214.
The mandatory Saturday Host Training Meeting (August 19, 10:00 a.m., 3220–3224 WSC) will focus on meeting your hosting team, picking up your hosting materials and name badge, and learning how your building host would like you to complete your specific assignment (checking badges, taking attendance, etc.). Refreshments will be served.
APPLY NOW by clicking this Hosting Application link. After you complete it, you will be contacted by email within two weeks. If you do not receive our email by then, please call 801-422-6214 to verify that we received your application.
We appreciate the service of our hosting staff, who do so much to make Education Week a pleasant experience for all who attend. We look forward to receiving your application.
