Volunteer Opportunities

We need your help to make it a success!

You say you don't play basketball?  No problem!  Sign up to be on the winning team of volunteers that help to make Mainstreet Madness successful.  

Our success is based on volunteer support in all areas of the event.  It is only the countless volunteer hours from dedicated individuals that enable us to produce a safe, exciting, well-organized event.  We need 300 volunteers to make it all happen. 

Volunteers work 3.5-4-hour shifts performing a variety of duties, everything from laying out courts and setting up hoops to providing tournament information and selling festival merchandise.  Volunteers should indicate first and second preferences of job and time on the volunteer sign-up form.  Every effort will be made to place volunteers in their preferred job and time, however there are no guarantees.  Assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis.  If the preferred job assignment and/or time slot is not available, the volunteer coordinator will call to discuss other options. 

It's easy to sign up: 

You can sign up online or, if you prefer, download the entry form and mail it to Mainstreet Madness, 5193 NE Elam Young Pkwy, Ste A, Hillsboro, OR 97124.
