VOLUNTEERS ARE VITAL
**PLEASE CONSIDER BEING ONE **
(p.s…the t-shirts are really cool this year, too!)

Volunteers are a vital component in making the 2013 Earth Day Celebration a success!  While there are numerous vendors, exhibitors, entertainers, and activity leaders, they need the support of volunteers to ensure that the day is enjoyable for everyone. 

Volunteers are asked to commit to 3 hours of volunteering during the course of the day.  With this commitment, volunteers will receive a complementary T-shirt to wear during your shift and keep.  Volunteers will also be provided with lunch.  Volunteers are expected to arrive at least 10 minutes before their shift to check-in at the Volunteer Tent and get their T-shirt.  Volunteers are also expected to work for the full duration they have committed to serving. Volunteers are expected to act in a mature and responsible manner, as they represent both the Town of Woodbury and New Morning Market.

 If you are thinking about volunteering, please read the descriptions below to decide which role would best suit your interests and abilities.

Set-up (8:00 AM – 11:00 AM)

Runners and Ground Crew (11:00 AM – 4:00 PM)

Runners will be needed throughout the course of the celebration and will help with a variety of odd jobs like emptying trash cans and recycling can as needed, picking up trash that may end up on the ground, and periodically checking and restocking bathrooms.  This position requires a volunteer that is ready and willing to help with just about anything.

Surveyors (11:00 AM – 4:00 PM)

Are you outgoing?  Do you like talking to people?  Can you engage people you have never met in a conversation?  If so, we need YOU!  During the Celebration, we will be conducting surveys with event attendees in hopes to learn more about their Earth Day experience and more.

Arts & Crafts (8:00 AM – 5:00 PM)

What Earth Day Celebration would be complete without an Arts & Crafts area?  Spanning throughout the course of the Celebration, a handful of arts and crafts will be available for kids to stop by, do and bring home.  Volunteers are needed to help with set-up and break-down of this area, and to lead craft projects throughout the Celebration.

Break-down (3:30 PM – 5:00 PM)

Celebration break-down includes a variety of tasks that range from removing signs to removing trash cans around the grounds to helping vendors take down their tents and loading their cars to “sweeping” the grounds for stray bits of trash.
