How do I become a volunteer

Which type of volunteer are you inquiring about? In any case the above resources should point you in the right direction. If seeking a reviewer position I think the chances are next to nill based on your found and placed cache stats.

 

Of course, the stats only refer to logs you wrote online, you may have found many and signed the physical log but not the website log. Hope you gets directed enough to answer your questions.

In the first place - which type of volunteer?

You may be a translator. If the site is not translated into your language, you can contact Geocaching HQ and they will probably accept you, because if the website is not translated into any language after twenty years of live, it probably means that there is no one to translate it.

You can also be a part-time worker directly at Geocaching HQ if you are from Seattle. I remember that a few years ago, a student who had a part-time job at Geocaching HQ during the summer holidays, wrote articles for the Geocaching blog. And it certainly wasn't her only job.

You can also be a reviewer, but the conditions there are a bit stricter. Newcomers to this position are chosen by existing reviewers. A potential candidate, who has yet to be approved by Geocaching HQ, must meet the following:

- good knowledge of English

- good knowledge of the rules of the game

- have a positive reputation in the community

- have done some work for the community (for example creating nice and well-kept geocaches, interesting events, ...)

- have years of experience with the game

- be of age

 

Hard to advise you, because your profile was created yesterday. Maybe you're trying to hide behind a mask of anonymity, but hiding is not a good way if you want to become a volunteer. So we can't know if you would be a suitable candidate for any position.
