Why do you need volunteers?

Rock Challenge^® and J Rock^TM events are run by the Be Your Best Foundation which is a

registered charity (1077291). The Be Your Best Foundation is a charity like any other, where

we rely on donations, fundraising and volunteers to be able to keep the Rock Challenge^® events going and to expand into new areas. Having volunteers take on jobs at our events

means that we can make sure valuable resources are invested into making the events the professional, unforgettable experience we know and love.

What will I be doing as a volunteer?

The short answer is that you’ll be helping the Rock Challenge^® crew to produce the Rock Challenge^®
and J Rock^TM events. You’ll take on one or more tasks throughout the event day which contributes to the overall

running of the day or night of the show.

There is an absolutely huge variety of tasks that you might be asked to do. You may be the “runner” who collects and briefs

the teams before going on stage for their rehearsal and performance. You might end up helping the Stage Manager on stage

or our technical and video crew. You could get to help out with the admin side of the event with the production team, you might be supporting teachers and at some events you might be lucky enough to be able to watch the rehearsals while selling the famous Rock Challenge^® merchandise. We try to mix up the jobs on a daily basis so that people volunteering at more than one event get a broad range of experience. Not forgetting that you’ll also be taking part in the production meetings on stage with the crew!

How do I register? Is it complicated?

We assess the process every year to make sure it’s as simple as possible. The first year that you volunteer you have to give us a few details but if you come back and volunteer the year after the registration form is very basic. The only bit that might hold you up is that you need to give us the name and email address of two people who we can contact to give you a reference. The first one must be a current or former teacher or line manager. The second one must be someone who is over the age of 18 that has known you for more than five years (and can’t be the same as the first person). If you have the details of those two people ready to go, the registration form shouldn’t take you any longer than 10 minutes to fill in.

How many events do I have to volunteer at?

As many as you like! We’d love to have you at lots of events so that you can get a varied experience of being a volunteer but you can also just do the one show if that’s all you’re available for. If you want to travel to volunteer at events just remember to keep in mind the cost of transportation and accommodation which you would be responsible for.

What happens when I've sent my form? When will i hear back from you?

As soon as you send your form, let the two people you chose to give references know that we will be

contacting them soon. As soon as we’ve seen the form we will email you straight away to tell you we've

received it and will be contacting your referees. Once they’ve got back to us, we'll send you another

email welcoming you to the team! We’ll then update you every so often as the tour approaches.

Is there a chance I won’t be selected to volunteer after submitting my form?

The only reason your registration wouldn’t be accepted is if any of your referees decline to offer a reference or they give a negative response. If they decline we will ask you to provide details of somebody else. You may also not be able to volunteer at a particular event if any of the events you register for already have too many volunteers. This is most likely to happen at the Aberdeen event but could happen at others so make sure you submit your form as soon as possible.

I really want to volunteer but my friends won’t do it with me and I’m nervous to do it by myself. What should I do?

About 95% of our volunteers start out in this position and they finish the day feeling like part of the family. It can be scary going into a situation by yourself but by the end, you’ll have no idea what you were worried about. We work long days to tight deadlines and put on a professional show but a contributing factor to that success is creating a fun environment to be in and having a good time. You’ll quickly make friends with other volunteers who you already have plenty in common with just because you turned up. When we last surveyed our volunteers, 100% of them said they enjoyed the experience and said they plan to volunteer again in future.

What’s in it for me?

Aside from the brilliant time you will have volunteering for Rock Challenge^® there are lots of other benefits of giving up your time to help us out. If you’re thinking about a career in theatre or events, volunteering with Rock Challenge^® will give you an incredibly valuable experience. You can get knowledge of what goes into creating a live show including event management, event production, stage crewing, technical theatre, video capture and production as well as all the general jobs that make a show happen. Even if you’re hoping to take on a professional performing career, knowing how much work goes into putting together an event gives you an advantage. It’s also useful experience for if you’re planning a career in education or something else working with young people.

It’s also a great social activity. Our volunteers are mostly local so you’ll be working and making friends with likeminded people who are from the same area as you.

Volunteering looks great on a CV. If a prospective employer observes that in your spare time you volunteer for a charity, it speaks volumes about the type of person you are and will be looked on favourably.

We also have our own Volunteer Accreditation Scheme where you can achieve Bronze, Silver and Gold levels by volunteering with us. We will send more details about this scheme after you have submitted your form.

Anything else I need to know?

Make sure you have decided who your referees will be before you get the form. This will save a lot of time when it comes to filling in the form. You will need to know their email address as well as this is how we contact them.

It’s also worth having a good idea which shows you want to volunteer at, as this will save you time too. Have a look at the tour dates either on the website or in the notes section on the Rock Challenge^® Facebook page. If you’re volunteering somewhere that has more than one event, it makes it easier if you list each individual show you would like to volunteer at so for example rather than just writing “Portsmouth” please write:

Portsmouth 1
Portsmouth 2
Portsmouth 5
Portsmouth 6

Write down the events that you want to volunteer at, if you are available. We’ll ask you to confirm that you will be attending approximately 2 weeks before each event.

The form itself has a page of guidance so you know what to fill in and how to send it back to us. If you have any questions that have not been answered by this document just contact Dan McCready at dan@rockchallenge.co.uk and he'll be more than happy to help.
