Logging In for the First Time
This article shows you how to log into Gate Access for the first time after you have received your registration email.
Volunteer Role
This article will provide you with a general overview of the features of the website that are available to you as a volunteer.
NOTE: When you first log in to Gate Access, some features will not initially be available to you. For example, you will likely not yet be assigned to a facility. This is not a cause for concern. Facilities are manually assigned to volunteers by Facility Contacts after the volunteer has logged in for the first time. Your patience is appreciated.
