Volunteer co-ordinators

Each area along the monument is covered by one of the Community groups (we call a ‘micro-cosmm’s) and each has a volunteer co-ordinator who will help and support volunteers efforts with the guides and resources available to the volunteers.
These folks help you register with ODA  and with guidelines on what is happening, what needs help and how to submit what you have done.
