Join the Wild Medicine Pack!
2026 Work Exchange Program
Terms & Conditions
We will start accepting volunteer applications for 2026 in September.​
​
Work Exchange Overview
Inspired by the collaboration and camaraderie amongst a pack of wolves, The Wild Medicine Pack will be a 20-person volunteer team of folks working together to ensure a smooth conference experience. Wild Medicine Pack Members will be those who want to play a significant and immersive role in supporting and sustaining the conference.
​
Pack members must be extremely flexible, willing to chip in wherever is needed, and understand that their ability to attend classes and workshops will be impacted by the projects or assignments they are given. The ability to walk moderate distances and lift at least 25 pounds without assistance is required.
Exchange Arrangement
In exchange for a $375 registration credit (equivalent to full commuter registration), Wild Medicine Pack Members contribute 12 hours of volunteer service over a 4-day period (Thursday through Sunday). Pack members have the option to add lodging and add meals to their registration.
Arrival Requirements
All volunteers must arrive by 11am CT on Thursday to attend Volunteer Orientation and attend the conference tour.
Thursday Lodging & Pre-Con Meals
Because volunteers are required to arrive on Thursday, we do NOT require them to pay for the full pre-conference program. Instead, you will only need to pay for your lodging that night (if applicable) + any meals you'd like to eat with us. This is a nice perk, because most volunteers will not have shifts that overlap with Thursday's festivities, so you'll be able to enjoy the evening fun without having to pay to be there!
Schedule ~ What to Expect
While we will do our best to structure everyone's schedule before the conference arrives, Pack Members must be open to their schedule changing at the very last minute based on shifts in the program or unexpected needs. There's also a possibility that you may not receive your full assignment(s) until check-in. Pack members will not be able to choose the hours they serve, however service hours are typically between 8am and 10pm. Your 12 hours could be divided in a variety of ways based on the needs of the conference.
Tasks ~ What to Expect
While this is not an inclusive list, below are some of the things you may be asked to do as part of your service commitment:
Assisting with parking
Assisting with registration
Overseeing the tea station
Managing information booth
Assisting Presenters or Vendors
Helping with setup or cleanup
Monitoring a class
Helping with Presenter Hospitality
Commitment Fee
A $50 commitment fee is required when you register to secure your spot; this fee will be refunded to you after the fulfillment of your full 12-hour commitment. If you volunteered in 2025, the commitment fee will be waived.
Training Requirements
All Wild Medicine Pack Members must attend a 1-hour virtual Training & Preparation Meeting on Monday, April 27, 2026 at 7pm CT.
​
