NIGHT TO SHINE VOLUNTEER HUB

Frequently Asked Questions (All Volunteers)

🕰️ When and where do I check-in?
Please review the serve role-specific details below to find your specific arrival time and location. Feel free to come early! Over 1,000 people will be arriving this evening, so give yourself plenty of time to find your spot and be ready to serve.
🚗 Where should I park?
Because many of our VIPs may have limited mobility, and in order to give them the best parking spots in the house, we kindly request you park in the southern lots, or at the Bacchus park baseball fields to the west of the church. Please refer to the map linked here. Volunteer Parking is marked in red; V.I.P. parking is marked in purple.
👗👔 What should I wear?
We are so excited for a glamorous prom event for our V.I.P.s! To help enhance the glitzy vibe, we request you dress in nice attire such as slacks, button down shirts, or a tie for the gentlemen, and a dress, skirt, or nice slacks for the ladies. This is just a suggestion, however; it’s most important to us that you are here, regardless of what you wear! At check-in, you will be given a color-coded silicone bracelet that you must wear at all times during the event.
🍕 Will we receive dinner?
Yes! All volunteers will be able to eat at our V.I.P. grab-and-go dinner stations which will include options such as pizza, Chick-fil-A nuggets, cheeseburgers, sandwiches, salads, and various desserts. Plenty of drinks and bagged snacks will also be available all evening so you can fuel up for the dance floor! Feel free to eat in advance if you have specific dietary needs or concerns.
👮 What are the event safety protocols?
Officers from the Frisco Police Department will be on site during the entire event. We also have a First Aid/Nurse’s station with trained personnel able to assist with bumps or bruises.
⁉️ What if there is a question I don’t know how to answer?
Look for a volunteer with a red bracelet! They are there to help. If you still need further assistance, head to the First Aid Desk so an event leader can be notified.
🤷 What if I don’t have experience working with those in the special needs community?
Don’t worry; experience is never necessary to show someone that they are a valued member of the kingdom of God! You will love these V.I.P.s well when you treat them kindly and with respect. If you are a Buddy, we will intentionally consider your age and experience level when pairing you with a V.I.P. You will also receive information about your V.I.P. in advance so you can be prepared for supporting them throughout the night. If you are a volunteer other than a Buddy, always defer to a V.I.P.’s Buddy volunteer if you have any questions or concerns with your interactions.

Feel free to read through other tips for working with our V.I.P.s here.
👪 Can I bring friends or family to serve with me?
We’d love to have as many volunteers as possible, but all volunteers must be pre-registered and background checked in order to attend the event. Register at prestontrail.org/shine
👑 Can I be part of the Crowning Ceremony?
Of course! We want everyone who is present for Night to Shine to experience the magic of the crowning ceremony in the Worship Center. It will start promptly at 7:45 p.m., so please wrap up at your station by 7:30 p.m. to head there. Once the crowning ceremony is over, please return to your volunteer station, if applicable.
😰 What if I can no longer serve?
Reach out to Nora Davis as soon as possible to let her know about your change of plans.

Tear Down Team:
You’re just getting started at 9 p.m. Use your gift of energy to stick around and help us clean up from this amazing night! The more volunteers we have helping, the faster it will go!
Shift Time: 9-10:30 p.m.

⏰ At 9 p.m. (or when your other volunteer role has concluded if you are not done quite at 9), please meet up in front of the Food Stations in the Cafe. Our Lead Volunteer, Sarah Davidson, will divvy out assignments so we can get everything done quickly! 

💪Thank you for your willingness to serve after the glitz and glam have ended so that the entire serve team can get home and tucked into bed, thanking the Lord for an incredible evening!

If you have any questions about your role or the event, please email Nora Davis.
Bathroom Attendant (For ages 18+):
Everyone needs a potty break when dancing the night away. Please help our VIPs use the restroom during the event.

✅ Please arrive no later than 5:45 p.m. and check in at our Volunteer Check-In table. You will receive a color-coded bracelet that must be worn during the entire event. The Check-In desk will let you know your bathroom assignment, and you can head there!

💁 You know what they say… When ya gotta go, you gotta go! While a Bathroom Attendant might not sound glamorous, you will literally get the opportunity to interact with every single V.I.P. at Night to Shine! Thank you for greeting everyone with a warm, big smile, asking how their night is going, and loving them well as nature calls. You will meet so many amazing humans who are making the world a better place, and you get to assist them with a basic need!

🚽 If a VIP has a Buddy of a different gender, you will take the VIP into the bathroom to assist as needed. You are not required or expected to help with toileting, but you can make sure they are okay as you wait outside the stall, offer verbal assistance, and then alert their Buddy outside if you think you need further assistance. You can also assist by opening the door, handing out paper towels, and treating them like true royalty!

🍕 You are welcome to grab food from the Food Stations in the cafe at any time. Just make sure to coordinate with the other Bathroom Attendant of the opposite gender so they know where you are going and that you will return soon.

👑 Please join us at 7:45 p.m. in the Worship Center for the crowning ceremony! After the ceremony, please return quickly to your bathroom location.
