*** For new volunteers who are under 18 years old, creating an account is a 3 step process ***
1. First they will need to sign up for an account using their own name and information - not the parents information! (https://www.volunteerfillingintheblanks.org/user/register/?return=%2Fnee...)
2. Then they will need to answer all of the questions including signing the waiver. They will then be prompted to enter their parent information and email so the parent can sign the adult waiver. The minor will not be able to register without this step being completed. Parent waivers often go into junk folders, so please have them check there for the email.
3. Once the parent signs the waiver, the minor will receive an email saying this step is complete. At this point they will be able to go to the link the coordinator sent them and register for the FITB/SLOBS event.
