Ready to be a part of the magic this year?

We have several volunteer shifts available and know that every single role is vital to the success of the carnival. There are a couple of things to consider before signing up to volunteer:

• Volunteers must be age 16 and up.

• We ask that any students that require written validation of their volunteer hours seek out our volunteer coordinator after your volunteer shift is over so that she can sign your paperwork.

• Be aware of the weather. Please dress so you are comfortable based on the weather and wear closed-toed shoes. Family friendly costumes are allowed.

• Honor your commitment - we need all hands on deck during the entire shift

• Bring a positive attitude - it's a fun event and a beautiful day to be a part of! Be ready to work, have fun and make a difference with Especially Needed!

We look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting a whole lot of new ones. Please don't hesitate to e-mail us if you have any questions regarding volunteering; Our volunteer coordinator is Nechole Whitlock and you can email her at nechole@especiallyneeded.org or 972.567.8005.

If you would like to donate to Especially Needed, sponsor this event, be part of the resource fair or inquire about anything regarding Especially Needed, please visit our website or contact Nechole Whitlock (nechole@especiallyneeded.org or 972.567.8005) or Heather Astuto (heather@especiallyneeded.org or 214.499.3439).
