Volunteer Application

Volunteer Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis for volunteers comfortable attending our events. If you have questions, please contact your Team Lead or the Dream Day Foundation office at 225.754.5700 or info@dreamdayfoundation.org.

Completing the Volunteer Application below is the first step in becoming a volunteer with Dream Day Foundation.

This form is not a registration for any event, including Fishin’ Galore.

A separate registration form will be required for each event for which you’d like to volunteer. Registration forms are published throughout the year and can be found under the Events tab.

A parent or legal guardian must complete this application if the volunteer is under the age of 18.
All volunteers must be at least 14 years old.
Each Volunteer MUST apply separately.
If mutliple family members are applying to volunteer, please submit an application for each person individually.
Each volunteer application will be reviewed for approval. You will be contacted when your application is approved.
Note: Any field with a star/asterisk is a required field.

Here's why we are asking:
Contact Information - We want to make sure we have the most up-to-date contact information so you can be sure to receive notifications about Fishin' Galore registation/announcements and other Dream Day Foundation events. We must also be able to identify you in relation to the Waiver/Consent.
Engagement - Our foundation has evolved and grown over the past 30 years and in doing so we've upgraded our system (a few times). We encourage you to let us know about your past Fishin' Galore experiences. Also, we have several speaking opportunities throughout the year including St. Jude Dream Home Giveaways, fundraising events and presentations made to groups who are encouraged to donate to Dream Day Foundation. If you are willing, we'd forever be grateful to you for speaking about your St. Jude experience and/or your Fishin' Galore experience! If you are not a public speaker, maybe you'd prefer to leave a written testimonial we could reference in print material, on social media or during these presentations. Any testimonial will be referenced by first name only, unless specific permission is granted. (Example: When we go to Fishin’ Galore and all the events Dream Day has and to be a part of that Dream Day Family, it reminds us to have life. We have hope at St. Jude and we also need to have life. *Patsy, Mother of St. Jude patient survivor)
