If the positions/opportunities catches your eyes, then sign up for them. <b>That doesn't mean you have to sign up for a position.</b> If you don't have time or don't find any of the positions interesting, you are not obligated to sign up. :) It is not like they will kick you out if you don't sign up (trust me, they are SUPER nice). Of course we would love for you to be actively participating but that does<span style="font-size: small;"> not mean </span>you have to volunteer for every single opportunity that becomes available (you could <span style="font-size: small;">th<span style="font-size: small;">ough)</span></span>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">But keep this in mind when you are signing up for opportunities: the positions are at a <b><i>first come, first serve</i></b> basis. That means if you want to volunteer for a specific position, sign up quick! :<span style="font-size: small;">)</span></span><br />
