The Asia Pacific Yo-Yo Championships run on support from family, friends, relatives and volunteers. However, as AP grows bigger each year, we find ourselves being short-handed on more occasions than one. Whether you are a die-hard yo-yo fan, want to cheer on a friend, give back to the community or just want to learn how to run an event, being a volunteer is a great way to be involved.
