Student Volunteer Program
Deadline: March 11, 2008
The deadline to submit a student volunteer application has passed. All students who submitted applications will be notified of their acceptance status before March 21, 2008.
Volunteer your time at the conference, and earn $100 — the exact amount of the early registration fee for student members. Students volunteer 8 hours at the conference, while networking with practicing planners, working with APA staff, and meeting other students.
Students must be registered for the conference at the time they apply to be a volunteer and must be student members of APA. Student volunteers are reimbursed onsite upon completion of eight hours of work.
Once your application is reviewed, you will be notified by e-mail as to your status as a student volunteer. All applications are reviewed in the order they are received and APA receives more applications than it can use, so register and apply early to improve your chances. Please note: If you are accepted as a volunteer and you register after the early registration deadline, you will be reimbursed only for the early online registration fee, not the greater fee.
