Volunteer Policy

As a volunteer at the World of Coffee New Orleans 2027, I understand and agree that:

  1. There is no guarantee that SCA can provide me with the minimum number of volunteer shifts required to earn a complimentary 3-Day World of Coffee Volunteer Badge. There are a limited number of volunteer shifts and these shifts are filled on a first come basis until all shifts are filled.

  2. In order to receive credit for the shifts worked, I am required to check in at the Volunteer Lounge in New Orleans prior to my first shift AND sign in and out for each individual shift on the day of the shift.

  3. When I select a volunteer shift I am committing to work the entire time period indicated for the shift. Volunteer hours for a shift cannot be divided between two or more volunteers.

  4. The minimum number of volunteer shifts is as follows: SCA Paid Members: 3 shifts.  Non-members: 4 shifts.

  5. Volunteers who meet the minimum number of shifts required will earn a 3-Day World of Coffee Volunteer Badge which includes access to the Exhibit Hall during attendee hours and lectures. These shifts will not apply to any other Badge, Additional Options or Workshops.

  6. Volunteer credit (a) has no cash value, (b) is not transferable to another person, and (c) can only be applied to one Volunteer Badge at World of New Orleans, 2027.

  7. If I miss a shift during World of Coffee, I will contact the volunteer coordinators via text for a replacement shift. There is no guarantee that another shift will be available to make up the missed shift(s).

  8. Cancellation Policy: If you are unable to fulfill the volunteer shifts that you signed up for, please notify us by April 2, 2027, by emailing your SCA contact directly (information in your confirmation email).
