There is so much work to be done “behind the scenes” in order to make WordPlay’s events and programs run smoothly. These opportunities cover a wide range of work, from physical to administrative. Volunteers may help us paint a new program space; print, fold and/or pack materials for an outreach event; or hang up flyers…
From open mic nights to Ride for Reading, WordPlay hosts several community events throughout the year. And the more people we have around to help, the better! Duties may include setting up/cleaning up; distributing flyers; greeting attendees and showing them where to go; serving food and drinks; and taking photos.
Volunteers fulfill important positions such as: usher, host/hostess, ticket takers, runners, and venue supervisors during the festival to ensure visitors have a satisfying and safe experience.
Our foster program is the backbone of our organization. If you have the patience to help a new arrival adjust to a home setting we’d love your help.
Help at our upcoming events.
Help sort and box packages that will be sent to our troops overseas.
