Help Us Make the 2013 Overnight Walk A Success.


Not Walking in the 2013 Overnight? Join us and Crew or Volunteer.

The Overnight Walk is made successful each year with the help of the many dedicated Crew Members and Volunteers that help us both on the route itself and at the Ceremony Site. Assisting Overnight staff with everything from Rest Stops and Route Safety to Check-in and Registration, our Crew and Volunteers are an integral part of the event.


Crew Members and Volunteers are often friends and family of Walkers participating in the event and these are a great way for everyone to be involved in different ways.

Take a look at the different roles we still have available at this year’s Overnight and let us know how you would like to help.

Join the 2013 Overnight Crew

Crew Members for the Overnight Walk are formed into smaller teams and help us with all of the safety and logistic aspects of the Overnight Route. Supporting Walkers throughout the night with water, snacks, medical help, and logistic support, the Crew Teams are greatly appreciated by the Walkers each and every year.

We’re still looking for Crew Members in:
  • Licensed Medical Professionals for the Medical Team     (Should be licensed in Washington, DC)
  • Midnight Snack, Rest Stops, and Quick Stops
  • Route Marking and Clean-Up
  • Motorcycle Safety
  • And More

Get in touch with our Coaches at 888-843-6837 or email our Crew Coordinator directly at Roze.Mota@theovernight.org and get all the details about joining Crew for this year’s Overnight Walk.

Volunteer at the Ceremony Site

Our Volunteers are a small army of several hundred people who help the staff set up and manage the Ceremony Site on the day of the Overnight event. Volunteers can be with us for one shift on either Saturday or Sunday, or work with us throughout the night and be present for both Opening and Closing Ceremonies.

We still have Volunteer roles available:
  • We need licensed Medical Professionals to help us check over Medical Forms at the Check-In area and Ceremony Site (Licensed anywhere in the U.S.).
  • We’re still looking for Volunteers for a variety of shifts and roles on Saturday afternoon (lasting until about midnight) and Sunday early morning (from midnight until 6:00am).
  • We’ll also need help in the week before the event to canvass all of the neighborhoods that the Overnight Route goes through. If you can spare a few hours during the week and can help us let the community know what to expect from the Overnight Walk, let us know.

Get in touch with our Coaches at 888-843-6837 or email our Volunteer Coordinator directly at Kimble.Snyder@theovernight.org and get all the details about Volunteering with us at this year’s Overnight Walk.
