Non-Clinical Vaccine Volunteer FAQ
HandsOn Greater Phoenix is a local nonprofit whose mission is to put volunteers to work where they are needed most. Right now, we think one of the most important ways we can serve our community is by supporting the vaccine efforts in our State with volunteers. To that end, we are partnering with ASU at multiple State-run vaccination PODs to register and schedule volunteers. We know that this effort will take all “HandsOn” deck. Our hope is that you will find this historic experience so rewarding that you’ll come back out to help again and again!
For those who are signing up for a shift:
- Additional dates to volunteer will be posted on an ongoing basis but no set schedule for releasing new dates for sign-up has been determined.
- Please DO NOT call or email our office to register. This is a web-based registration system only. We will post the latest information on volunteer opportunities on our website (www.handsonphoenix.org/vaccinatestate48) and social media channels.
- DO NOT show up to volunteer at if you are not signed up for a specific shift.
- The minimum age to volunteer is 18, no exceptions.
- The registration system is 100% first-come, first-served. If you want to volunteer with a family member or friend, you will both have to be scheduled for the shift.
For those who have signed up for a shift:
- If all shifts are full, you may not transfer your slot to someone else or bring anyone else to volunteer with you unless they too are signed up. You can release your slot by following the below steps and the person you want to transfer the spot to can sign-up through the website once it’s released.
- If you have questions, email asurecovidvolunteers@gmail.com and include “Question” with the POD location name “i.e., State Farm Stadium) in the subject.
