Answer:

Each volunteer and staff member need to arrive at the scheduled time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The adjective each is used before a singular countable noun, and, therefore, the verb should be singular, too.

So the sentence should be written as "Each volunteer and staff member needs to arrive at the scheduled time."

All the other sentences contain no errors in subject-verb agreement.
