Hey everyone! I sent in my volunteer information the the volunteer@BF email address, gave my dates and requested a specific date for a tour, but I haven't received any sort of confirmation yet. I don't know if I should be concerned or not. Should I be hearing from someone or just not worry about it.
I'm so excited I can hardly wait!!!
You may want to verify the address you used. Make sure it is "volunteers", with an "s". Many make the mistake of using the singular version and they never get the email. When did you send in your request? They reply to those whose trips are coming up the soonest, so I'm guessing that you will hear from them this week or sometime next week. I sent in my request in early September for my visit beginning this Saturday and I heard from them last week. If you have not heard from them by the end of next week, I would email again and make sure you put the date of your visit in the header of the email.
I don't think you'll have a problem getting on to a tour. They have at least four per day, but you are wise to make a reservation becasue they book up fast. You'll have a great time.

I just heard back on Saturday for volunteering starting Nov 8th, and I e-mailed in August. If you are really concerned, the quickest way to get it taken care of is to call. They are super helpful!
