The 2026 HCU Conference is headed to Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, and we’re looking for volunteers who embody that spirit. From stuffing bags and welcoming guests at registration to capturing unforgettable moments as photographers and supporting fun, engaging activities in the KidZone, every helping hand makes a real impact. If you’re ready to share some brotherly love and help create an unforgettable conference experience, we’d be thrilled to have you on the team.

We offer a Kids Zone, with programs for 3-6, 7-12, and 13+. We ask that all children be potty-trained in order to attend. Children under 3 are welcome, but must have a guardian with them at ALL times.
