Bags and Personal Items

Volunteers will be able to leave coats in the volunteer hospitality area. However, we strongly recommend you do not bring valuables, as we will not be able to lock them up.

Bottled water and snacks will be available to volunteers, and lunch will be provided to refuel during the day.

Inclement Weather

Mother Nature will NOT cancel MiCareerQuest Middle Michigan. Please check Facebook at micareerquest middle michigan for additional information in the event of inclement weather.

Safety and Security

The event will be staffed by a professional security team and law enforcement. We do not expect any situations, but volunteers are asked to keep an eye out for anything suspicious or illegal. We request that you immediately share any concerns with a member of the event’s executive committee, security team or law enforcement officers.
