Volunteer with
MainStreet DeLand

There's nothing like being part of a vibrant and energetic community. Volunteering with us let's you know your community better, make new friends and gain personal satisfaction. 

Minor Volunteer Requirements

Before a minor can participate in any MainStreet DeLand volunteer shift, a completed Minor Volunteer Waiver and Parental Consent Form must be submitted. This form ensures that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and approved the minor’s participation and acknowledges the responsibilities and risks associated with volunteering at MSDA events.

This form must be completed and submitted prior to signing up for any volunteer position.
Minors will not be allowed to volunteer until the form has been received.

Once the form has been filled out, please either bring the signed form to the MainStreet DeLand office at:

100 N. Woodland Blvd, Suite 4, DeLand, FL 32720 or email it to: volunteer@mainstreetdeland.org

Submitting the form does not automatically register the minor for an event.
After the form is received, the minor (or parent/guardian) must still go to the specific event listed under Volunteer Opportunities below and sign up for a volunteer role/shift.
