- North Pole Set-up - Before Santa and his elves can officially get the party started, all carnival games, craft stations, life-sized games, and decor will need to be in place and ready to go! Dandelion Dreams staff members will be on site all day, but since the venue will be closed to the public, the doors will NOT be unlocked. Volunteers may come and go as you please, BUT we ask that you complete the form below to ensure we know when and who we are expecting.
Saturday, December 8th
(8am - 3pm or shift assignments)
- Crowd/Traffic Control - facilitate a smooth transition of pedestrian traffic flow from the parking areas into the venue. This role will require directing and stopping traffic/moving vehicles to ensure attendees can safely cross the street.
- Registration / Ticket Sales - Manage activities at the check-in table, which will include selling onsite tickets and collecting money.
- Greeters - are responsible for welcoming families into the venue and distributing event booklets after the families have registered. We encourage greeters of all ages but are hoping we can give this opportunity to several Little Leaders (ages 5 - 10).
- Greeter Captains - are responsible for monitoring the Little Leader Greeters as well as welcoming families and providing assistance, direct, on and information about the venue and activity locations. Greeter captains will also direct families to the Family Check-in area.
- Family Check-in Team - is responsible for ensuring every child is checked in with an adult and all members of the same family have the same color wristbands and the same number marked on each wristband.
- Family Check-out Team - is responsible for ensuring no child leaves without an adult and that each family exiting the building all have the same color wristbands and the same number on each.
- Carnival Game Operators - multiple games will be on site and will require volunteers to operate, provide guidance and assist each player.
- Life-size Game Operators - multiple life-size games will be placed around the venue to give families the opportunity to play with other families. Life-size Game operators will monitor the progress of each game and be attentive to other families who are interested in playing the games. This may require encouraging those currently engaged in the game to give others the opportunity to partake in fun!
- Runners / Floaters - will not be assigned to a specific area, but should be flexible and adaptable with the ability to relieve any of the rolls above. Floaters / Runners will also ensure the volunteer area is restricted to volunteer only.
