Emergency & Translation Support

We are seeking dedicated professionals and volunteers to ensure the safety and inclusion of all guests. First Aid volunteers (Doctors and Nurses) must be confident in basic emergency response, CPR, and AED usage.

Spanish and Navajo translators are vital for our diverse visitors. We require volunteers capable of reading prepared talking points and providing guidance, while recognizing when doctrinal questions should be redirected.
