Carlson Volunteer FAQ

No Result

What volunteers should plan to attend the 2026 Carlson?

With the return to two tracks for volunteers, we highly encourage all Balanced Man Stewards attend for their role-specific training, and then any volunteer, mentor, or AVC member would benefit from the second track. Both are being designed to provide real-world value in addition to improving efficacy as a volunteer.

What will volunteer education cover this year?

With the return to two tracks for volunteers, we highly encourage all Balanced Man Stewards attend for their role-specific training, and then any volunteer, mentor, or AVC member would benefit from the second track. Both are being designed to provide real-world value in addition to improving efficacy as a volunteer.

What does it cost to attend Carlson as a volunteer?

Thanks to the generosity of our annual fund donors, volunteers have a discounted registration fee of $175/person — which includes all meals on Saturday, program materials, etc. Volunteers are responsible for their own lodging and travel expenses.

We know it can be challenging for volunteers to attend with registration, hotel and travel costs. If your AVC is able to subsidize it, either out of the AVCs budget or using Educational Foundation funds for volunteers, we recommend helping those volunteers who may have financial restraints from attending.

How do I register or sign up for Carlson?

Registration information will be available in mid-October!

When should we arrive at Carlson? And when should we plan to leave?

The opening kickoff will begin promptly at 8 p.m. Friday evening. Plan to check in (and eat dinner!) prior. Programming will continue throughout Saturday, wrapping up after dinner around 7:30 p.m. Most attendees will stay Saturday evening at the hotel and depart Sunday at their leisure. Here is a general program schedule:
