# Signing up for Volunteer Shifts

You can find upcoming activism shifts in our activist portal, [Stampede](https://stampede.proanimal.org). The system will be updated regularly with new shifts, and you can sign up for the ones that work for you.

If this is your first time signing in, follow the prompts to create an account.

Once in the portal, you can navigate to [Events](https://stampede.proanimal.org/events), then the "Browse Events" tab.&#x20;

From this page, you can browse events and select "Attend" for the ones you'd like to join.

### Other notes about shifts:

* You will receive your petition packet, clipboard, and any other materials needed when you come to your first shift.
* On your first shift, you will receive a brief orientation and the opportunity to shadow another petitioner before beginning. Just so you know – an organizer will also be there to answer questions and help you with anything you need.&#x20;
* After your first shift, we encourage canvassers to continue using the shift signup system throughout the campaign, but you are free to collect signatures on your own anytime.&#x20;
