What is the minimum age for volunteering?

All participants must be at least 16 years of age. Organizations that have youth members must supply a chaperone and can volunteer during any shift time. Youth individuals may volunteer, but can do so only during the morning and/or afternoon shifts because of curfew laws.

If my organization is volunteering, how many people can we bring?

The WTTW11 Pledge Studio holds a maximum of 35 volunteers. Groups can range in size from 10-35. We ask group coordinators to guarantee a minimum of ten people per group.

BIKE WINTER HAS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING 15 VOLUNTEERS

Is there a dress code?

Business casual dress is preferred. Shirts with company or group logos are acceptable in any color but white (white clothing causes a glare on camera). Please do not wear anything bearing endorsement for a controversial issue or political candidate. For groups, company shirts are welcome but please avoid group hats. It can get chilly in the studio, so we recommend bringing a sweater or jacket.

WE MAY PROVIDE BIKE WINTER TEES FOR THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE ONE

If my organization is volunteering, will we be recognized?

Groups of ten or more will receive three on-air mentions during their Pledge shift. Your group name will be read verbally and your group name will appear on screen. Unfortunately we cannot display company/group banners on the set.
Will meals be served?

Weekend mornings:
Breakfast pastries and coffee are served.

Weekend afternoons:
Light food service and vending machines are available.

All evenings:
Catered food and vending machines are available.

Can we tour the studios?

WTTW will endeavor to have a tour guide available during all pledge shifts. Tours can be taken in between pledge breaks. If a pledge shift is extremely busy this feature is not always possible.
