Great question. You do not have to become a Brainy Pal member if you are not interested in being a member. If you just want to be a regular volunteer then yes, you can just register for any upcoming production on our volunteer/membership website as a non-member. We strongly encourage membership because you will have access to a ton of opportunities and benefits as a member, it is more convenient to view upcoming opportunities or events and register for open spots, and it's completely free!
