  VOLUNTEER GUIDELINES
"Yesterday was one of the greatest days of my life, and the marathon event was only accentuated with the incredible support and assistance of the volunteers. Just the way they looked you in the eye and made the experience personal, and showed that they cared and were there to help--I left Boston feeling so great about the goodness of people that I know I will be back just to share in that magic again!
Thanks to all for everything!"
- John Manion, Radnor, PA
"It was wonderful to volunteer at the event. I volunteered in the Athletes Village and as the runners were heading to the starting line they were all thanking us for being there to help them. That made it all worthwhile, even in the cold of a 5:30 beginning hour. I'll be there again to volunteer next year."
- Deb Roussell, Maynard, MA

"I just wanted to thank you and the BAA for allowing volunteers to help out the runners and their families. Working the marathon for the past three years has been a special event for me. The runners are very excited to run, anything people can do to help them is a blessing. Looking forward to the Half-Marathon later this year. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing myself and others to spend their time to help others."
- Jenn Merzon, Rockland, MA

REGISTERING GROUPS

Parties of two or more wishing to volunteer at the same job assignment should create a group. Creating a group is the only way to ensure that your party will all be placed together at the same job assignment. Group members will be placed at the same job but receive separate correspondence from the B.A.A. Group members are individually responsible for making sure they are aware of B.A.A. policies and procedures.

Here's how it works:

Step 1: Designate a group leader.

Step 2: The group leader enters the online application using his/her own personal contact information.

The group leader will be given the option to "Create a Group." The group leader will create/enter a group name, pass code, job preferences for the group, and complete the remainder of the application. When complete, make sure to write down your personal on-screen application confirmation number, group name and group pass code. Seeing the application confirmation number on-screen is indication that you have successfully created your group and completed the application process.

Step 3: The group leader will communicate the group name and pass code to the group members.

Step 4: Every group member must complete the online application using his/her personal contact information. Group members should choose the option to "Join a Group," find the group name in the drop down list and enter the pass code. Complete the remainder of the application and submit. Make sure to write down the on-screen confirmation number. Seeing this number on-screen is indication that you have successfully completed the application process.
